Dr. Maria Humphrey, LMFT

Dr. Maria Humphrey is a Florida-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, and the emotional impact of major life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and offers a calm, respectful space to talk things through.

Clients find simple, practical steps in sessions. Dr. Humphrey emphasizes building resilience and self-compassion. Conversations aim to identify what feels most urgent and what steps are doable next.

Her work draws on client-centered, psychodynamic, and solution-focused ideas. That means listening carefully to each person’s story, looking at patterns that repeat in relationships or behavior, and trying small changes that can make everyday life easier.

She also supports people facing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, cancer concerns, hospice and end-of-life topics, and isolation or loneliness. Sessions address feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and grief while helping clients cope with transitions such as divorce or immigration-related challenges.

Dr. Humphrey aims to help people leave sessions with clearer choices and practical tools. She encourages clients to notice progress in small steps and to use therapy time for focused problem solving and emotional processing.

How her approaches shape online work

Dr. Humphrey often blends client-centered and solution-focused ways of working. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening closely and following what matters most to the person in the room, which helps when someone needs time to talk through worries or life changes. Solution-focused work narrows in on practical steps and small goals, which is useful for reducing stress and building routines.

She also uses psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns in relationships and feeling states. That can help when old habits or repeated conflicts keep showing up and blocking progress. Choosing or adjusting an approach is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will talk about goals, try different methods, and pick what feels most helpful over time.

Session formats are not specified in the public biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also allow people to keep therapy going during health or caregiving demands, while still focusing on building coping skills and managing transitions.
