About Maria

Maria "Mali" Jimenez is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma, and issues with self-esteem. She also supports concerns like addiction, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, eating and sleeping struggles, parenting stress, anger, and career transitions. Mali works in both English and Spanish and practices from Colorado.

She brings seven years of clinical experience to her sessions and holds credentials as an LCSW, CSW, and LICSW.

Background and approach

Her approach blends Attachment-Based Therapy with practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Mali often incorporates psychodynamic ideas about family of origin and attachment wounds to understand how early patterns show up now. Sessions tend to be collaborative and straightforward.

Mali encourages clients to lead their process while she offers guidance, questions, and gentle challenges to support growth. She uses mindfulness and somatic awareness to help people notice thoughts, feelings, and bodily responses. When goals call for it, she uses motivational interviewing skills to build motivation and clearer direction.

The work can include talking through relationship patterns, coping strategies for anxiety, planning for life changes, or addressing codependency and abandonment concerns. People who choose Mali usually want a mix of practical tools and deeper reflection. She aims to help clients turn unhelpful patterns into more workable habits and beliefs.

Online support

Attachment work and practical tools online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional safety. Online sessions can help people notice attachment patterns and try different ways of connecting in their daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and actions and replace them with clearer, goal-oriented habits. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and reactive behaviors by practicing new skills between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and bodily signals. It supports awareness of emotions and tension, which can reduce reactivity and improve decision making. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of attachment focus, CBT, or mindfulness fits their goals and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made. Online formats make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deep conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins during a workday, and text-based messaging helps people stay connected between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
