About Maria
Maria Milana, Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), has five years of clinical experience. She works with adults and offers counseling focused on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Maria uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other therapeutic methods to help people make practical changes and improve daily functioning.
Her sessions emphasize clear goals and practical skills. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts without letting them dictate actions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize each person's concerns and preferences during conversations.
Maria also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices when strong emotions or impulsivity are part of the problem. These approaches include breathing and grounding strategies, emotion regulation skills, and steps to manage intense reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors.
She addresses a range of issues such as attachment struggles, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin concerns, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, obsessions and compulsions, panic attacks, social anxiety, and women’s issues. Sessions combine conversation, skill practice, and agreed-upon homework to reinforce progress between meetings.
Maria offers counseling in English to people located in Florida. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.

How Maria blends evidence-based approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based actions so clients can take steps toward what matters despite uncomfortable emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. It is often used for panic, obsessive thoughts, and social anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and reflecting what the client brings so goals come from the client’s priorities.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will review goals, symptoms, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan can be adjusted based on what works for the person.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions help keep momentum between appointments and make it simpler to practice skills in real-life situations. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so skills carry over into daily routines.
