Maria Myslewicz-Weese

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship and career concerns. Maria aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical next steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions are shaped around the person's goals and preferences. Maria listens first, then helps create a plan that fits each person’s needs and pace.

She uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These methods support behavior change, emotional understanding, and clearer communication in relationships.

Maria has worked with people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, and mood disorders. She also helps with parenting stress, anger, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. Practical skills and short-term strategies are balanced with attention to deeper patterns and family of origin themes.

Taking the first step can feel hard. Maria emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people build confidence and motivation. Prospective clients pick a Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How key therapy approaches are used in online work

Maria uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and finding direction in a career or life transition.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking that fuel worry or low mood, then practices concrete skills to shift those patterns. CBT often helps with sleep problems, depression, and anxiety by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is applied when relationship or intimacy issues are central. EFT helps people understand and express underlying emotions and improves communication between partners or in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods over time. That collaborative process helps ensure the sessions match what the person wants to achieve.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about available session types and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
