About Maria

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 12 years of experience to her practice. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Maria speaks plainly and aims to make the first step feel less overwhelming for people seeking change.

She uses straightforward conversation to figure out what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored to individual needs and paced according to what feels manageable.

Background and approach

Maria emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the process. Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help with thoughts and behaviors, and she uses Client-Centered and emotionally focused techniques to strengthen connection and coping.

She also integrates Gottman-informed tools for relationship work when appropriate. Maria has helped people navigate life transitions, grief, addiction concerns, trauma, sleep problems, parenting stress, career issues, and mood challenges. She pays attention to communication patterns, control struggles, and feelings like guilt or emptiness that get in the way of daily life.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help when anxiety, depression, or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce unhelpful patterns; this is useful for anxiety, mood issues, sleep problems, and coping strategies. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and attachment needs, often used to improve connection and communication in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. A licensed professional will listen to concerns, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made over time so therapy stays relevant to what the client wants to change.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Therapists can deliver the same skills-focused and emotionally focused work remotely, using the format that best supports each person’s needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
