About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Her approach aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy lives.
Maria uses several well-known methods to guide sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
She also brings client-centered listening to create an accepting space for conversations. In-session, Maria keeps language simple and goals concrete. She helps people break down problems like low self-esteem, grief, or parenting strain into manageable steps.
For relationship or intimacy concerns she integrates emotion-focused and Gottman-influenced ideas to improve communication and connection. Over a dozen years of practice have included a wide range of mood and stress-related issues, addiction concerns, trauma and compassion fatigue. Maria tailors the plan to each person’s situation and comfort level rather than using a fixed script.
She respects individual pace and focuses on skills people can use between sessions. Maria works in English and provides online formats such as video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. People begin by completing a short questionnaire that helps match goals and scheduling preferences, then book sessions that fit their routines.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life changes by focusing on small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for depression, social anxiety, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers on warm, nonjudgmental listening so people feel heard and can explore goals at their own pace.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so sessions stay relevant and manageable for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, brief coping strategies, or flexibility around work and family schedules. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine while using approaches that focus on skills and real-world change.
