Maria Myslewicz-Weese, LCSW

Maria Myslewicz-Weese is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of experience in North Carolina. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around self‑esteem and motivation. Maria focuses on building a respectful, compassionate space to begin tough conversations and take the first step toward change.

Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens to what matters most and tailors sessions to each person’s needs. That can mean working on coping skills for daily stress, sorting through relationship and communication problems, or addressing grief and trauma at a manageable pace.

Maria uses a mix of methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. She blends those perspectives to match a client’s goals rather than following a single script. This helps people work on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors together in sensible steps.

She also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar mood concerns, sleep difficulties, anger, and compassion fatigue. Other focus areas include family of origin issues, control problems, guilt and shame, and social anxiety. Sessions aim to make everyday life feel more bearable and more meaningful.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability. Maria works in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCSW. If you want a straightforward, respectful clinician to help guide change, she can be a practical option to consider.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It’s useful for anxiety, stress, and situations where values and behavior feel out of sync. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce worry and low mood. It often includes practical exercises to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then shape the plan collaboratively. That way the methods fit the person, not the other way around.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote work to focus on skills practice, behavioral experiments, and emotional processing in ways that match a person's life and schedule.
