About Maria
Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings two decades of experience in mental health to her work. She speaks plainly and listens closely, helping people sort through stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the ups and downs that come with major life changes. Maria aims to make counseling feel approachable and practical for everyday life.
She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and an Education Specialist degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology.
Background and approach
Her background includes work across settings with adults and adolescents on concerns such as parenting challenges, relationship struggles, substance use and recovery, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and career dilemmas. Sessions with Maria focus on the client’s goals and what will help most in day-to-day life.
She adapts her style to fit each person, using straightforward conversation, occasional worksheets, and goal-oriented tasks when helpful. Her manner is warm, down-to-earth, and respectful. Maria describes her approach as person-centered and strength-based, and she draws on cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, brief solution-focused, and reality therapy techniques as needed.
She aims to support self-discovery, build decision-making confidence, and foster resilience. People who work with her can expect collaboration on a clear plan and a pace that feels manageable. Maria wants clients to feel heard, to develop practical coping skills, and to move toward the life changes they hope for.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Maria uses several evidence-based techniques adapted for remote sessions. Cognitive-behavioral approaches help identify unhelpful thinking and teach practical skills to change behaviors and reactions; this can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness-based strategies teach focused breathing and attention exercises to reduce emotional reactivity and support mood regulation. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable goals and immediate steps to move forward.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Sessions can shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, homework discussion, or quick support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain consistent momentum toward goals.
