Maria Myslewicz-Weese

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina. She has 12 years of experience and helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Maria focuses on practical steps that feel achievable and respectful of each person's situation.

She works with clients on self-esteem, motivation, and confidence so they can move toward the life they want. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction struggles, and mood concerns. Parenting strain, sleep problems, and anger are other common issues she addresses.

Maria uses a collaborative approach. Sessions are shaped to each person’s needs and goals instead of following a fixed script. She emphasizes clear communication, emotional awareness, and everyday skills that make a difference between visits.

Her methods include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and elements of the Gottman Method when relationship work is relevant. These approaches guide practical exercises, talk-based work, and strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

People who seek help for career stress, compassion fatigue, or long-standing family of origin problems may find useful tools in her work. She aims to treat everyone with sensitivity, respect, and compassion while tailoring the plan to the person's unique situation.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior and testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and connection, which can help with relationship strains and intimacy-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts techniques as needs change so sessions stay practical and relevant.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow check-ins that focus on skill practice. It also lets people try different ways of working - more skills-based check-ins or deeper emotion-focused conversations - and decide what feels most helpful.
