About Maria
Maria Cascarino is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression and career concerns using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Maria offers straightforward, practical sessions for people who want better ways to manage strong feelings and everyday pressures.
She focuses on spotting thought patterns and behaviours that make things harder. Sessions look at what happens in real life - at work, in relationships and in day-to-day routines. Maria uses exercises and discussion to test unhelpful ideas and build more helpful habits over time.
Clients can expect a blend of short, practical tasks and reflective conversation. Maria explains techniques clearly and checks they suit the person's circumstances before trying them out. She pays particular attention to panic, body image worries and social anxiety alongside anger and work-related stress.
Her work includes helping people reduce avoidance, manage panic attacks and rebuild self-worth. Maria also supports those dealing with workplace issues and women's concerns. She keeps sessions focused on skills people can use between meetings.
If someone wants to begin, Maria asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. That first meeting is used to agree goals, try a simple technique and plan next steps. The approach is practical, direct and aimed at clearer ways of handling feelings and situations.
How CBT fits with online sessions
Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviours that fuel anger and anxiety. CBT involves simple experiments, short exercises and practical strategies you can try between sessions to reduce panic and manage stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maria will work with the client to agree goals and test techniques, adjusting methods based on how useful they feel. The emphasis is on practical methods that match daily life and the person's preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a job or family routine, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats need less bandwidth or no camera, which can help when a shorter or simpler meeting is preferable. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep therapy consistent with everyday schedules and commitments.
