01About Maria
Maria Morales-Abaroa is a therapist who uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and low mood. She holds an LPCC, which is a Minnesota licensed clinical professional counselor credential, and brings five years of clinical experience to her practice. Maria speaks English and Spanish and works with people who want practical support and clearer coping skills.
She began her clinical career in Mexico working with family systems before relocating to Minnesota about five years ago.
Background and approach
Since then she has focused on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, and issues affecting self-esteem and confidence. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love. In sessions she aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Maria adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s situation. That can mean learning skills to manage anxious moments, talking through patterns that keep a person stuck, or developing steps to reduce substance use. She frames therapy as a process that begins with a single step and steady effort.
Maria supports people as they try new ways of coping and make changes over time. Her bilingual ability can help Spanish speakers feel more understood. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with scheduling done after a short matching questionnaire.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-world change. One common approach she relies on teaches coping and problem-solving skills to reduce stress and anxiety. It helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes to feel better day to day.She also works with trauma-informed methods that help people process difficult memories and reduce their impact on everyday life. These methods focus on pacing, safety, and building skills to manage strong emotions. For concerns with addiction and motivation, she uses practical strategies that break down goals into doable steps and address triggers that lead to unwanted use.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful and will adjust techniques based on the person’s goals, preferences, and progress. People take part in choosing what to try and how fast to move forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility so people can fit care into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during short breaks. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain steady momentum toward goals.
