About Maria
Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor with two decades of experience in mental health. She works in Mississippi and draws on a long career helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She holds a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology and an Education Specialist degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology.
Maria uses an approachable, down-to-earth style to help people who are dealing with grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, and low self-esteem.
How Maria works
She also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, anger, and career questions. Sessions focus on practical conversation and usable strategies. Maria adapts her pace to the needs of each person and may use worksheets or short exercises to promote reflection and clearer decision making.
She aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through things, gain perspective, and build coping skills. Her work favors a person-centered outlook that highlights strengths, resilience, and self-determination. Maria blends several evidence-based techniques to match what a person needs in the moment.
The result is a tailored plan that centers the client’s goals and real-life priorities. People come to her for different reasons - some want a sounding board, others want goal-focused solutions. Maria encourages steady progress at a comfortable pace and offers practical support for the next steps in a person’s journey.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to give people practical tools. One commonly used approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and replacing them with clearer, more balanced thoughts; this helps with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Another frequent technique involves brief solution-focused work that concentrates on small, doable goals and steps to reach them; this can be useful for career decisions, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process includes adjusting pace, trying short exercises or worksheets, and tracking progress so the plan stays relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits in Maria's practice. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face conversation when helpful. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief updates, sharing thoughts between sessions, or those who prefer typing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
