About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with three years' experience. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing anxiety, stress, low mood and related struggles. Maria aims to make starting therapy less daunting and to help people take practical steps forward.
Maria works collaboratively, using a clear, problem-focused style. She talks through thoughts and behaviours that get in the way and helps people try different coping strategies. Sessions are tailored to each person rather than following a fixed plan so work stays relevant to daily life.
Her background includes focused practice with anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with workplace strain, body image worries, social anxiety and panic disorder and panic attacks. Maria describes a straightforward approach that helps people break down issues into manageable steps.
Sessions emphasise practical skills as well as understanding patterns. Maria encourages small experiments and measurable goals so progress is easier to notice. She aims to teach techniques that clients can use between meetings to reduce overwhelm and regain control.
If someone is curious about therapy, Maria invites an initial conversation to explain how she works. That talk helps people decide whether the style and focus feel like a good fit before they commit to regular sessions.
How CBT can work for you online
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people understand and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts so it is easier to spot patterns and try different responses. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic and stress because it focuses on practical techniques to manage symptoms.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Maria will discuss goals and preferences and decide together which techniques to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
