About Maria

Maria Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming. She has four years of clinical experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and questions about self esteem. Maria focuses on practical steps and steady progress instead of quick fixes. She recognizes that starting therapy takes courage and she honors that first step.

Maria sees each client as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people try small changes between meetings.

Her work often blends problem-solving with attention to personal story. That can mean looking at patterns that keep a person stuck, testing new ways of thinking, or processing painful events at a pace that feels manageable. She also draws on motivation-focused techniques when someone wants to change addictive behavior.

Maria has experience supporting people affected by adoption and foster care, blended family issues, codependency, and both drug and process addictions. She also works with concerns linked to avoidant and dependent personality patterns and domestic violence. Her approach adapts to the concern and the person in front of her.

Therapy with Maria is intended to be practical and human. She helps clients make choices that fit their goals and everyday life. If you want to try talking things through with a steady and encouraging clinician, this is how she works.

How Maria’s approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and follows their pace. In this approach the therapist listens deeply and helps people name what matters to them, which can help with stress, anxiety, and self esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, addictions, and low self esteem.

EMDR is a method used to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming. It is often used when trauma or abuse has created ongoing distress, and it is introduced slowly to match how comfortable someone feels.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose or blend approaches together. That collaboration helps shape a plan that suits the individual rather than forcing one method.

Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, such as keeping appointments around work, school, or caregiving tasks and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. The focus is making therapy workable and relevant to daily routines.
