About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, depression, and related issues listed in her profile. She speaks English and practices from a clinical viewpoint grounded in several evidence-based approaches.
In sessions she focuses on clear, practical conversations. She helps people name what feels most urgent and then tries simple, actionable steps to test what works. Conversations cover coping with life changes, motivation, managing mood symptoms, and problems that come from family of origin and communication breakdowns.
Her approach mixes ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behavior. She also uses Emotionally-Focused and Gottman-informed ideas for relationship concerns and intimacy-related issues. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and needs become clearer.
Maria supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction-related struggles, anger, sleep disruption, and compassion fatigue. She also helps with control issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety and phobia when these arise in therapy. Sessions aim to build practical skills alongside discussion of emotions and patterns.
Clients typically begin by identifying a few goals and testing small changes between visits. The focus is on steady, manageable steps rather than big overnight shifts. To start, users follow the site's matching process and schedule a first session through the listed options.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to the person in a nonjudgmental way so they can lead the pace and topics of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods in early sessions and adapt what they try based on the client's goals, preferences, and how pacing feels. Decisions about technique are collaborative and adjusted as progress is observed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit into a busy week. Some people use shorter check-ins when time is tight, while others prefer standard-length conversations. If camera time is difficult, clients can discuss other ways to connect that still allow steady progress.
