H Δαφνά Μαρία BSc είναι Ψυχολόγος - Ψυχοθεραπεύτρια και διατηρεί το ιδιωτικό της γραφείο στο Κουκάκι.

Είναι απόφοιτη Ψυχολογίας από το Εθνικού και Καποδιστριακού Πανεπιστημίου Αθηνών και έχει εξειδίκευση στο Γνωσιακό Συμπεριφορικό Μοντέλο πιστοποιημένο από το ΚΕΨΥΣΥ.

Στόχος της θεραπείας είναι οι παλιές δυσλειτουργικές συμπεριφορές, αυτές που στάθηκαν η αφορμή για να επισκεφθεί ο θεραπευόμενος το γραφείο του θεραπευτή, να αποκοπούν από τη ραχοκοκαλιά του κεντρικού εαυτού και οι νέες αλλαγές που θα ακολουθήσουν να ενσωματωθούν όχι μόνο στη ταυτότητα του ατόμου αλλά να εισχωρήσουν και στο νευρικό σύστημά του και έτσι να έχουν διάρκεια στο χρόνο. Βασική αρχή της ψυχοθεραπείας CBT είναι ότι συγκεκριμένα δυσλειτουργικά νοητικά μοτίβα, σαμποτάρουν τον άνθρωπο συναισθηματικά και συμπεριφορικά. Οι θεραπευόμενοι μαθαίνουν μέσω τεχνικών καλύτερους τρόπους να αντιμετωπίζουν τα προβλήματα και τις δυσκολίες τους.
