About Maria
Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of work in mental health. She practices in Mississippi and draws on long experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addiction, trauma, mood issues, and anger.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Mississippi State University, and an Ed.S. in Educational and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri. Her background includes work with adults and adolescents across a range of concerns. That breadth helps her recognize patterns that can make everyday frustrations and long-standing resentments worse.
In sessions she keeps language plain and practical. Conversations can cover immediate coping strategies, ways to reduce reactive anger, and skills for rebuilding trust in strained relationships. She may suggest short exercises or worksheets between meetings to sharpen insight and track progress.
Her approach mixes person-centered listening with techniques drawn from cognitive-behavioral and brief solution-focused methods. Mindfulness and reality therapy ideas also appear when they fit the goal. The intent is to use methods that help people try small, concrete changes and notice what actually helps.
Maria aims to work at a pace that feels manageable. Early sessions typically focus on what is most pressing and practical - day-to-day distress, patterns that trigger outbursts, and ways to respond differently. Over time the work can broaden to longer-term goals like rebuilding self-esteem or managing mood conditions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maria uses evidence-based techniques in straightforward ways. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce reactive anger and anxiety. Brief solution-focused techniques concentrate on small, practical steps and what is already working so people can build momentum quickly. Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, current problems, and comfort with different techniques. That collaborative decision is revisited as needs change. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Sessions are designed to fit into everyday life so people can practice skills between meetings. Online work can make it easier to schedule brief check-ins, use worksheets during the session, or choose a phone option if video is difficult. These practical choices help make therapy usable alongside work, family, or other responsibilities.Areas of expertise
