About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 12 years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship strains. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a compassionate approach to conversations about change. Maria frames therapy as a practical process and helps clients set clear goals they can work toward.
She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new responses.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy informs her listening style, so sessions are guided by what each person brings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method shape how she addresses emotional connection and communication in close relationships. Maria helps people dealing with parenting challenges, grief, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns.
She also supports those coping with career stress, sleep problems, anger, and mood disorders. Additional focus areas include family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety or phobia. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and life situation.
Maria works collaboratively to build a plan that fits practical goals and everyday routines. She invites clients to try small experiments between sessions and to adjust the approach as progress unfolds. Maria practices in North Carolina as an LCSW.
She offers sessions in English and uses straightforward, everyday language so parents and busy adults can follow along. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at helping people find clearer choices and better coping tools.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathetic listening and follows the client’s lead so goals reflect what matters most to them.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Maria collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, so the plan stays practical and personally meaningful.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see nonverbal cues and work through relational or emotional material. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy family and work routines.
