Maria Roman

Maria Roman is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people through difficult emotional times. She focuses on depression, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and big life changes. Maria offers care in both English and Spanish and practices in Connecticut.

She centers her work on building self-compassion and healing from past experiences. Sessions often address shame, guilt, body image, and feelings of isolation. Maria helps people strengthen communication skills and manage the emotional fallout of divorce or separation.

Her approach includes attention to spiritual concerns for those who want that dimension in therapy. She offers a Christ-centered model when clients ask to include faith in their work together. At the same time she respects individual values and personal goals during the process.

Maria emphasizes practical coping strategies that can be used between sessions. She supports people as they rebuild self-esteem, discover life purpose, and practice forgiveness toward themselves and others. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

With five years of clinical experience, Maria brings a calm and focused presence to sessions. People who choose her often want a blend of emotional exploration and concrete tools to manage mood and stress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Approaches and how online work can fit your life

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people build self-compassion and recover from trauma. One approach addresses emotional processing and healing from past hurt by naming experiences, working through difficult memories, and practicing new ways of relating to oneself. This can help with trauma, shame, and mood disorders. Another approach emphasizes skill building for communication and coping. That work teaches clear ways to express needs, manage intense feelings, and handle life transitions such as divorce or separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and day-to-day needs. Together they decide whether to focus more on emotional exploration, practical skills, faith-informed work, or a combination of these elements.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the therapist's permitted practice area. Discuss format preferences when you schedule to find the best fit for your needs.
