About Maria

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in North Carolina who blends practical strategies with empathic support to help clients manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship challenges.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods to create treatment plans tailored to each person’s circumstances and goals. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while working to build clearer coping skills and healthier patterns of thinking and relating.

Clients seeking help with depression, self-esteem, coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, or intimacy-related difficulties can expect a collaborative process where goals are defined together.

Communication problems, family of origin issues, anger, sleep disruption, career stress, and compassion fatigue are also within her scope of practice, and she integrates evidence-informed tools to address these areas. Maria frames therapy as a partnership and supports clients through the often-difficult first steps toward change, offering flexible approaches that meet practical needs and personal preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maria integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into online work to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and build practical coping strategies, while also learning to accept difficult emotions and commit to values-based action. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation. ACT emphasizes psychological flexibility and helping people move toward meaningful goals even when uncomfortable feelings are present.

She also uses Client-Centered and Emotionally-Focused ideas to create a supportive collaborative environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of therapy. This makes it easier to tailor methods to individual needs, and she works with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize accessibility and fit different lifestyles. These options allow people to schedule consistent care around work, family, or mobility needs and to use the format that best supports their engagement with treatment.
