About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is an LCSW licensed in North Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience working with adults. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She also addresses family of origin issues and communication problems that shape how people relate today.
Maria uses straightforward conversation and goal-oriented work. Sessions often include practical skills for managing anxiety and mood. She helps people notice patterns that come from childhood and consider different ways of responding. Conversations may include looking at expectations, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Her work draws on cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build small, consistent actions that matter to the client. Emotionally-Focused ideas and Gottman-informed practices guide work around closeness and communication in relationships.
Maria describes a client-centered approach in session. That means she listens first, then shapes the work with the person’s goals in mind. Sessions may focus on skills practice, noticing emotional patterns, and improving how people talk about difficult topics.
She has supported people through grief, addiction concerns, coping with life changes, and anger management over the past dozen years. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are frequent focus points. For someone worried about how their family background affects their current life, she helps trace those links and try different responses.
How Maria’s approaches translate to online work
Maria commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small actions that align with those values. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to guide how sessions are run, which means the conversation begins with the client’s priorities and the therapist adapts to those goals. Deciding on the best approach is collaborative; the therapist and client review what feels most useful and adjust as needs change.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into daily routines - for example during a lunch break, when travel is difficult, or when a shorter phone check-in is needed. Online work can also make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into discussion. Licensed professionals can tailor pacing and techniques to what works for each person.
