About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with three years' experience helping people with stress, anxiety and workplace strain. She works in a calm, non-judgemental way and focuses on practical skills. Maria aims to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that get in the way of daily life.
She offers tailored sessions for common concerns such as low self-esteem, depression, anger and panic attacks. Maria also supports issues around body image, social anxiety, self-love and women's wellbeing. Career and workplace issues are another area she addresses, with a focus on manageable steps to improve work life and wellbeing.
In sessions she and the client look at patterns together and practise small, doable strategies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify thought patterns and try different ways of responding. The emphasis is on simple tools that can be used between sessions to reduce worry and build confidence.
Maria describes therapy as a collaborative process. She adapts the pace and methods to each person’s needs and aims. If someone wants to know more, she invites them to ask questions before committing to a course of work.
The first step is a short matching process through the site, then scheduling based on the therapist's availability. Sessions are provided in English and arranged for people in the United Kingdom.
How CBT can work online and what to expect
The central approach Maria uses is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT. CBT helps people notice thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and then tests out different, more helpful ways of responding. It is often used for anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and workplace stress.Maria focuses on practical techniques you can try between sessions. That may include short behavioural experiments, breathing or grounding activities for panic, and simple thought records for anxiety and low self-esteem. These tasks are chosen together so they fit day-to-day life and your goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels useful and adapt methods as you go. This is a collaborative process where goals and preferences guide which techniques are tried.
