Maria Fransisca Cloud
MA, LMFT-S
Bilingual Clinician | EMDR Trained
Hello, and welcome. I’m Francisca, and I’m honored that you’re considering taking this step in your journey toward healing, growth, and deeper connection. My hope is to create a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen relationships, and discover the tools you need to thrive.
About me:
I was born and raised in Texas and have always found joy in connecting with people across cultures and languages. As a bilingual clinician, I am passionate about creating spaces where both English- and Spanish-speaking clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I deeply value family, laughter, and the power of authentic connection, and I believe in bringing warmth and curiosity into both my work and my daily life.
About my experience and expertise:
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor with over 13 years of experience providing care to individuals, couples, and families. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas.
My clinical journey has included school settings, psychiatric hospitals, and non-profit organizations, which gave me the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients and needs. I have extensive experience supporting children in developing emotional regulation skills, helping couples navigate relationship challenges, and guiding families toward stronger and healthier connections. I also specialize in working with young adults navigating major life transitions, such as the shift into college and early adulthood.
About my approach:
I believe therapy is a collaborative process where healing and growth can take root. My approach is warm, strengths-based, and tailored to the unique needs of each client or family. I draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including:
- Play activities & emotional regulation skills (to support children in expressing and managing emotions)
- Family systems therapy (to help families understand patterns and strengthen their bonds)
- Theraplay-based activities (to nurture connection and attachment)
- EMDR & trauma-informed care (to process and heal from difficult or distressing experiences)
- Interpersonal skills training (to foster healthier relationships)
- Strength-based approaches (to help you identify and build on your inherent resilience and abilities)
Whether we are working one-on-one, as a couple, or as a family, my goal is always to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can move toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and positive change.
About my services:
I offer counseling for individuals, couples, and families in both English and Spanish. While insurance coverage for couples/marital therapy is often limited, I provide private-pay options for these services. For individual and family therapy, clients may begin with self-pay and transition to insurance once credentialing is complete.
I believe every person has the ability to heal, grow, and thrive, and I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process. Together, we can create space for insight, change, and hope.
