About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy practitioner who offers short-term, practical therapy for everyday problems. She has three years of experience and works from the United Kingdom. Maria aims to make starting therapy straightforward and supportive for anyone feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs so they feel relevant and manageable. Maria listens without judgement and helps people build skills they can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people with career difficulties, body image worries, panic attacks, social anxiety and women's issues. These are areas she has worked with in her practice and can discuss in an initial conversation.
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which aims to identify thoughts and habits that feed distress and replace them with more helpful ways of reacting. She guides practical exercises and small steps so progress feels concrete. Sessions usually involve setting goals and trying strategies between meetings to see what helps.
If someone is unsure where to begin Maria invites them to ask questions about the process and what to expect. She encourages a collaborative approach where the person’s priorities shape the work. To start, readers are asked to follow the site’s sign-up steps and book according to the available options.

How Maria works online
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will choose strategies that fit. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted if something is not helpful.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Many people find it easier to attend regular meetings this way and to use techniques in real life soon after a session. Confirm the session options available before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged.
