About Maria
Maria Dally, LMSW, uses an attachment-based lens to help people feel safer in relationships and steadier in themselves. She focuses on simple, practical steps to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Maria explains things plainly and works with clients in English and Spanish.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral skills to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. Sessions also include client-centered listening so people feel heard while they practice real coping skills.
Background and approach
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotions feel intense and regulation skills are needed. Maria has four years of experience as a licensed social worker in Michigan. Much of her work has been in community mental health settings, with both virtual and in-person visits.
That background shaped her focus on parenting, family dynamics, and supporting people through life transitions and grief. In a session she helps parents and individuals name difficult feelings, try small experiments, and build routines for better sleep, eating, and daily coping. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, immigration-related stress, and multicultural challenges.
Outside of work she enjoys crocheting, puzzles, cooking, and scenic walks. Those personal interests often come up as ways she connects with people and models simple, grounding activities they can try between sessions.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Maria often blends attachment-based work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered care. Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape reactions and safety in close connections, which can help with anxiety, relationship worries, and attachment issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice painful thoughts and choose values-based action, useful for stress, depression, and life changes. Client-centered therapy centers on listening, empathy, and collaborating so people feel understood while they try new coping strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and needs. Together they set small, practical steps and adjust methods if something is not working.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone works well when bandwidth or hands-free movement matters. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, tracking progress, and quick coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or travel and to practice skills in daily life.
