About Maria
Maria "Mali" Jimenez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW, LICSW) practicing in Colorado with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and anger.
Mali blends practical skill teaching with exploration of early life patterns. She uses mindfulness and somatic awareness so people can notice how thoughts, feelings, and the body interact. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral tools to shift patterns that cause recurring problems.
Her work also looks at attachment and long-standing family dynamics. That perspective is used to understand how past relationships shape present reactions and habits. Sessions include talking through recent problems and tracing back patterns that repeat across situations.
Mali describes her style as clear and direct; she gives gentle challenges alongside guided practice. People learn short exercises to manage intense moments, and longer reflections to change recurring behaviors over time.
She has experience across nonprofit, hospital, and private practice settings. Mali offers therapy in English and Spanish and accepts international clients. Costs vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. Online sessions can use conversation and guided reflection to map attachment patterns and notice how they appear in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions Mali teaches concrete exercises and thought-reframing tools that people can practice between meetings to reduce reactivity and manage anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mali will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. The choice of methods is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.
The practical benefits of working online include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to continue weekly practice, check in after difficult moments, and use brief coaching-style touchpoints when helpful.
