Dr. Maria Humphrey

Dr. Maria Humphrey is a Florida-based licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She has ten years of clinical experience and offers a calm, listening presence for those needing steady support.

Her work often focuses on practical coping skills and emotional understanding. Sessions may include talking through current problems, identifying patterns that cause distress, and trying small changes that fit daily life. She also addresses compassion fatigue and challenges related to caregiving, aging, cancer, and hospice and end-of-life counseling.

Clients can expect an approach that centers their experience and values. Dr. Humphrey combines client-centered listening with techniques from psychodynamic, existential, solution-focused, and trauma-focused approaches to meet what each person needs. She aims to help people build resilience and find clearer direction when life feels overwhelming.

She provides services in English and Spanish and works with people coping with grief, family tensions, immigration stress, feelings of emptiness, and mood concerns. Her background supports conversations about forgiveness, guilt, and reorienting life purpose.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Dr. Humphrey uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location and the services requested.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and validating what matters to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and figure out next steps. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and how a person wants to live now; it can help when life changes or losses bring big questions. Trauma-focused therapy pays attention to how painful events affect daily life and teaches ways to reduce intense reactions and regain routine control.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and the specific problems they bring. This discussion happens together and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are determined by the therapist's practice. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into hectic schedules, useful for shorter check-ins, or better when travel is difficult. Online work also makes it possible to continue support while managing caregiving duties, medical appointments, or changes related to aging and illness.
