About Maria

Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi. She brings two decades of experience helping people who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and issues with self-esteem. Maria speaks English and aims to create a calm, respectful space for conversation.

She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and an Education Specialist degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology. Over 20 years she has worked with adults and adolescents on concerns like substance use and recovery, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, grief, and parenting challenges. Maria adapts her work to each person’s needs rather than using a single formula.

Her style is down-to-earth, warm, and empathetic. She emphasizes person-centered care, strength-based thinking, and helping clients build practical skills for everyday problems. Worksheets and short skill-building exercises may be used between sessions to encourage reflection and progress.

Maria aims to support clients through life changes and decision points. She focuses on helping people find their own goals and increase their confidence in choices. Sessions are paced to match a person’s comfort level and needs.

People often come to Maria for a mix of listening, practical guidance, and goal-oriented planning. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and tailors conversations and plans to meet individual goals. When you are ready to begin, she offers a structured way to start that respects your rhythm and priorities.

Evidence-informed Approaches and Online Therapy

Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques drawn from person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and brief solution-focused approaches. Person-centered work focuses on listening and building a respectful connection so clients can find their own answers and goals. Cognitive-behavioral elements help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and teach practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and self-esteem concerns. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, achievable steps to create change and move toward stated goals.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Maria works collaboratively to match methods to a client's needs, goals, and preferences. She will discuss options and adjust the plan over time so the work feels useful and relevant to daily life.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins during life transitions. It can also let someone choose a session style that fits their comfort level, such as shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or more in-depth conversations when time allows.
