About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She practices with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and works to create a space where clients feel heard. Maria adapts conversations and plans to match each person's needs and goals. Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support through that process.
Her approach blends practical skills with emotional understanding. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build flexible coping. Client-centered work keeps the session focused on what matters most to the person sitting in the room.
Maria also uses emotionally-focused and relationship-focused methods when couple dynamics or intimacy concerns are central. Those approaches look at patterns of connection and help people improve communication and safety in close relationships. She pays attention to how past family patterns show up now and helps people untangle family of origin issues.
Sleep and rest concerns are part of her caseload and she helps people address habits, stress, and emotions that interfere with sleep. She also supports clients facing grief, trauma, addiction, and workplace strain that affect daily life. Sessions aim to build skills that can be used outside the therapy hour.
Maria works in North Carolina as an LCSW and conducts therapy in English. She encourages people to start with a short matching questionnaire so sessions can be scheduled according to mutual fit and timing.
Therapeutic approaches and online care options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then teaching concrete strategies to change them. Emotionally-Focused Therapy looks at how attachment and interaction patterns shape relationships, useful when improving communication and closeness is a goal.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's available session formats before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and offering the option to join from a quieter spot without needing to be on camera. Licensed professionals use these formats to support ongoing skill practice, sleep and rest improvements, and relationship work in ways that fit day-to-day routines.
