About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She takes a respectful, down-to-earth approach and makes space for each person's story. Maria emphasizes practical steps and honest conversation to help people move toward a more satisfying life.
Maria tailors sessions to the individual's needs and priorities. She mixes techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to build values-based action. She also uses client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the person's goals and experiences.
Her background includes a range of concerns such as self-esteem, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, anger, career questions, bipolar mood management, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include communication and control issues, family of origin patterns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters most to the client and to develop small, doable changes that fit everyday life. Maria works to create a calm, respectful space where people can name their struggles and try new ways of responding. She supports step-by-step progress rather than promising quick fixes.
Maria practices in North Carolina and conducts sessions in English. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability so therapy can begin in a way that fits the person's schedule.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift emotional responses that affect close relationships and personal connection.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will check in on what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or other routines. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed, choose audio-only when bandwidth is limited, or schedule sessions at times that better suit daily life. These practical choices help therapy become a sustainable part of everyday routines.
