About Maria

Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings two decades of experience in mental health to her work. She offers steady, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her style is warm and practical, and she focuses on helping people move forward at a comfortable pace.

Maria earned a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and an Education Specialist degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology. She has worked with adults and adolescents across a wide range of concerns, including relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction and recovery, trauma and abuse, grief, bipolar disorder, and career issues.

Sessions are shaped around each person's goals. Maria uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes strengths, resilience, and self-determination. She adapts methods to fit what each person needs, combining straightforward, goal-focused work with reflection and wellbeing strategies.

Practical exercises and short worksheets may be used to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Conversations can range from gentle processing to active problem solving, depending on what someone wants and needs that week.

Maria aims to help people build confidence in decision making and cope with life’s changes. She encourages a collaborative process where the client helps set the direction and pace of work. When someone is ready to take the next step, she offers guided support to help them toward clearer choices and better daily functioning.

Evidence-based methods and working together online

Maria draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and resilience. One common thread is cognitive-behavioral strategies, which help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic patterns.

She also uses person-centered and strength-based approaches that prioritize the client's goals and values. These methods help people build on what already works for them and develop confidence in decision making. Mindfulness-informed practices are sometimes included to teach simple skills for managing stress and emotional ups and downs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration shapes the plan and the pace of sessions so the work feels useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online options can make it easier to fit appointments around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets to an online setting so progress can continue between sessions.
