Maria Myslewicz-Weese, LCSW

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 12 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and life changes. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to offer steady support through that process.

She uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions are tailored so practical steps match real life. Maria blends methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based ideas to help people change unhelpful patterns and rebuild confidence.

For relationship and intimacy-related concerns she draws on emotionally-focused ideas and principles from the Gottman Method to help people notice patterns and improve communication. She also works with addiction, trauma and grief, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, helping people manage symptoms and daily routines.

Many sessions focus on building skills for coping with stress, anger, and sleep problems. Maria also addresses family of origin issues, communication and control problems, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. She creates a plan that matches a person's values and goals.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. She helps people set small, doable goals and checks progress along the way. To begin, clients use the site process to match with her and schedule a first session.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions aligned with personal values to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which helps with stress, sleep, and mood management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and relationship patterns, helping people understand and change interaction habits that harm closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Maria will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process may mix elements from different approaches to match the issues being addressed and the pace someone wants.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and reduce commute time. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and offer more flexibility for scheduling around work or family responsibilities.
