About Maria
Maria Coyle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, person-centered work. Maria listens closely and helps people name what feels hard right now and take small steps toward change.
She combines a client-centered stance with clear, action-focused techniques. That means conversations begin with the client’s priorities, and then move to skills and strategies that fit daily life. Sessions often include goal-setting, problem-solving, and ways to manage overwhelming feelings like anxiety, grief, or anger.
How Maria works
Maria has worked in schools and in independent practice in New Jersey. Her long experience includes supporting people dealing with stress, depression, eating and food-related issues, addictions, and trauma and abuse. She also addresses ADHD, personality-related challenges, self-harm, and struggles common to young adults.
Her approach is straightforward and adaptable. She may use cognitive behavioral methods to change unhelpful thinking patterns, motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, and solution-focused techniques to build on what already works. The client’s pace and goals guide each session.
Maria aims to help people develop practical coping skills and clearer plans for the next steps. She pays attention to culture and individual differences when shaping care. The result is down-to-earth therapy focused on functional changes that fit each person’s life.

Online support options
Approaches you can use online with a licensed counselor
Client-centered therapy starts with the person and their priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients choose goals that matter to them. This approach suits people who want empathy and guidance as they make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to reduce worry, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, eating issues, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time so the techniques fit changing priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more interaction is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when a quieter, lower-bandwidth option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what works best.
