About Maria
Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with 12 years of clinical experience. She uses straightforward talk and practical strategies to help people manage feelings that feel overwhelming. She aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring care to each person’s situation.
Maria focuses on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, and depression. She also helps with relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and abuse, and anger.
Background and approach
Other areas she supports include sleep problems, addictions, career concerns, and navigating big life changes. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking.
Mindful, values-based work from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters and take action toward it. Emotionally focused ideas guide conversations about closeness and how emotions shape relationships. In sessions Maria adapts to the person in front of her.
She listens first, then offers concrete tools and small experiments to try between meetings. She also works on communication skills, boundary-setting, and ways to reduce daily stressors. People who reach out usually want clearer thinking, steadier moods, and better ways to handle conflict or intense feelings.
Maria supports each step with practical exercises, check-ins on progress, and changes to the plan as needed.

Online approaches that help with strong emotions
Maria blends cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going, and then practice small changes to test new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy emphasizes mindful noticing of feelings and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help when anger or anxiety feels overwhelming.The choice of approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to what matters to the client, reviews goals, and suggests methods that fit their needs and preferences. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and emotion work, phone sessions can be easier on low bandwidth or when being on camera is tiring, and chat or messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing skills practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep steady progress over time.
