Getting to know Maryann Vaz
My name is Maryann Vaz, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 20 years of experience as a clinician. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Los Angeles. Based in Los Angeles, California, I work with clients statewide via telehealth.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on each client's needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, as these modalities help us build a shared understanding of your reality and work together to chart a path forward.
My focus
I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for postpartum women and adults dealing with end-of-life issues, new illness diagnoses, grief and loss, and caregiving for loved ones. These challenges often present as anxiety and depression. I work to help clients navigate these transition periods and build skills that foster a better sense of self and a more positive outlook on life.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable discussing anything with me, and I pride myself on listening empathetically with a non-judgmental stance.
My journey to mental healthcare
I became a therapist because I truly care about people, especially those going through difficult times. I've always considered myself a nurturer, drawn to helping others through challenges. The intrinsic satisfaction of making a difference in someone's life is deeply rewarding.
My goals for you
My approach is to work with clients toward mutually agreed-upon goals based on what concerns you most. I believe you have the answers, and my role is to help you uncover them. This often begins by building trust and becoming comfortable with what it means to be in therapy.
