Maria (“Mali”) Jimenez is a licensed clinical social worker licensed to practice in Colorado and Washington, DC with 7 years of experience supporting people through a variety of life phases and challenges.
She works with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship issues such as co-dependency and attachment wounds, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, addictions, LGBT-related matters, family conflicts, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping disorders, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and compassion fatigue.
Maria approaches therapy with compassion and clarity, offering care that is gentle yet direct. She integrates a mindfulness-based somatic approach to help clients develop awareness of thoughts, emotions, and bodily experience. That somatic work is combined with cognitive behavioral strategies and a psychodynamic lens - attending to family system dynamics and early attachment wounds - so that clients can transform patterns into more helpful beliefs and behaviors.
Her background includes work in nonprofit and hospital settings as well as private practice. Maria allows clients to lead their process while providing collaborative support to help them meet their goals, and she welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients seeking change.
Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person care.
A major benefit is convenience and flexibility - clients can connect in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep consistent appointments and integrate therapeutic work into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide online services, and it is possible to change therapists if a different clinical fit is desired. For many individuals seeking support for everyday mental health and relationship challenges, online therapy is a practical and effective option.
