About Maria
LCSW in North Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience, Maria Myslewicz-Weese focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, and depression. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and the Gottman Method to guide sessions. Maria works in English and is based in North Carolina.
Maria frames sessions around practical talk and observable steps. She listens to what matters most to each person and then tries methods that match those goals. That can mean skills from CBT for anxiety, acceptance-based practices from ACT for painful thoughts, or emotion-focused techniques for relationship concerns.
Her day-to-day work includes helping people manage stress, cope with life changes, and address sleep or anger problems. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include communication problems, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.
In sessions that use client-centered principles, the person’s perspective guides the pace and topics. When relationship issues are central, elements of the Gottman Method and EFT are used to look at interaction patterns and emotional connection. For mood and anxiety concerns, Maria draws on CBT and ACT exercises to build skills and increase values-based action.
Maria typically adapts the approach over time, adjusting tools and goals as progress is made. To begin, a straightforward intake clarifies immediate needs and maps initial steps. The first conversations often focus on practical coping strategies while planning longer term goals.

How her approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to reduce distressing patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions drive interaction and can be helpful when relationship or intimacy issues are central.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will listen to current concerns and goals and then try methods that fit the situation. It’s normal to try a technique for several sessions and then adjust based on what helps most.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekly routine, shorten a check-in when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find they can apply CBT exercises, ACT practices, and EFT-style conversations in remote sessions just as they would in person, while tailoring the pacing to daily life.
