About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on clear, practical steps and honest conversation to help people feel more capable in day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She uses approaches that encourage meaningful change and stronger connections. That includes the Gottman Method for relationship dynamics, cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking, and acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action.
Maria adapts how she works to each person’s goals and situation. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative.
She listens first, then helps set small goals and experiments clients can try between meetings. Many clients work on communication, coping with life changes, or improving sleep and daily routines.
Maria also supports people facing trauma, grief, addictions, and compassion fatigue. She works with mood disorders, bipolar concerns, anger, and social anxiety by combining emotion-focused skills with practical behavior changes.
Parenting challenges and family of origin issues are addressed with concrete strategies and clearer boundaries. She aims for a respectful, down-to-earth style.
If someone is ready to try something different, she helps them take the next step and checks progress along the way.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Maria draws from the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and build healthier communication habits in relationships. That approach focuses on concrete skills for listening and responding, which can be practiced during sessions and at home.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another tool she uses to identify thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maria works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s goals and preferences, and she checks in regularly to adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skills practice, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text can be used for shorter check-ins and notes between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress moving forward.
