About Maria
Dr. Maria Peters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, stress, trauma and abuse, anxiety, relationship concerns, and anger management. Her approach begins by recognizing each person's strengths and personal story.
She uses clear, practical conversations to help people make changes. Sessions focus on real-life problems and steps a person can take between meetings. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try new behaviors, and measure small improvements over time.
Dr. Peters blends several approaches depending on the client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice alternative reactions. Attachment-based ideas guide work around relationship patterns and emotional responses that started earlier in life.
For people who have experienced trauma, she may include EMDR-informed methods to address distressing memories alongside other therapies. The Gottman Method is used when relationship skills and communication need direct practice and structure.
Her style is straightforward and focused on practical steps. People are invited to set goals and track progress. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Dr. Peters often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and tests small behavior changes to reduce stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people try new ways of relating in everyday life.She also uses EMDR-informed methods when addressing traumatic memories, combining structured processing with other therapeutic tools to lessen the intensity of distressing recollections. These approaches are chosen to match a person's needs, goals, and comfort level, and she works with clients to decide which methods to try first.
Finding the right method is collaborative - the therapist will review options, explain what to expect, and adjust the plan based on how a person responds. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reduce travel time. Because the biography does not specify which online formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking so you know what to expect for length, video or audio use, and scheduling. Online work can allow shorter check-ins, weekday breaks, or longer sessions when needed, depending on the formats offered.
