About Ekaterina
Ekaterina Maza is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who helps people managing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and family concerns, anger, grief, intimacy and eating issues, and ADHD. She also supports those facing career shifts, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, bipolar challenges, and other life changes.
Her first aim is to meet people where they are and make the first step feel possible. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations are guided by the client’s goals and strengths. Ekaterina uses simple, practical strategies and works side by side with clients to build new habits and coping skills. Her sessions draw on client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices.
That mix helps people notice unhelpful patterns, reframe thoughts, and practice calmer responses in daily life. She adapts these tools to fit each person’s situation rather than following a fixed recipe. With six years of experience and the Florida LCSW credential - FL LCSW SW20485 - she combines clinical perspective with everyday practicality.
She values respect, sensitivity, and compassion during hard conversations. Sessions are meant to increase self-awareness and strengthen confidence. Ekaterina accepts people living outside the U.S. and offers several online formats.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability. She aims to help people move toward clearer goals and steadier daily routines.
How these approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s goals. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps clarify priorities, and adjusts the pace so the client feels understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises and practice tasks to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can ease anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple ways to notice thoughts and body signals without judgment. Practicing brief attention and breathing skills can reduce reactivity and improve focus.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Plans are flexible and may change as progress is made or circumstances shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from wherever the person is located, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel, and to keep momentum between appointments.
