Dr. Maria Humphrey

Dr. Maria Humphrey helps people navigate stressful life changes and emotional strain. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist with ten years of clinical experience. Her style is warm and straightforward, so conversations stay focused and practical.

She centers sessions on what the person brings in that day. That means listening first, then offering tools that fit the client’s situation. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges. Divorce and separation are among the life transitions she supports people through.

Her work blends several well-established approaches. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in the client’s priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, achievable changes that can make daily life easier. Trauma-Focused and Psychodynamic ideas are used when past experiences are shaping current patterns.

She also supports issues connected to aging, caregiving, cancer, hospice and end-of-life concerns, immigration stress, and feelings of isolation. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills, clearer communication, and greater emotional resilience. Dr. Humphrey works in both English and Spanish.

People can expect a collaborative process that balances practical strategies with deeper reflection. The goal is to help each person leave sessions with something they can try that week. To begin, clients follow the site’s Start Therapy steps and schedule a time that fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Humphrey uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the session focused on what matters most to the person. That means the client’s goals set the agenda and the therapist follows their lead to build understanding and clarity. Existential Therapy is used to address bigger life questions and meaning when people face major changes or loss. This approach helps people name values and make choices that feel aligned with who they want to be. Psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at patterns that repeat over time and how past relationships influence current feelings and decisions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. Plans are adjusted as work progresses so the approach stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also make it simpler to keep appointments during hectic weeks or while handling caregiving or work demands. The focus is on practical benefits that help people use therapy consistently and make steady progress.
