Maria is intuitive and kind. I love that I can tell her what my needs and goals are for a session and if I just need to vent, then that is what we do. Or if I need advice , then I get that too. Maria makes me feel valued and cared about.

More about Maria

Welcome! My name is Maria, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the states of Mississippi and Arizona with over 25 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have BA degree in Psychology and a MS degree in Clinical Psychology from Mississippi State University. I also have an Ed.S. degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri. I have experience with both adults and adolescents. I have worked with an array of client populations and concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, substance abuse and recovery issues, trauma, self-esteem, bipolar, and schizophrenia.
Life is often full of challenges, which ebbs and flows with each chapter of life. I am here to support, empower, and guide you on the journey that is uniquely yours, and one in which you are the author. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support your self-discovery, dreams, and aspirations and to help you live your best life on your own terms. People seek counseling for a variety of reasons. I realize that some people may only need a sounding board and support from their counselor. Some people solely need the processing element from a counselor to increase their confidence in decision-making skills and make sense of life’s happenstances. While for others, it proves to be a safe, confidential space to vent, which proves cathartic in its own right. For some individuals, it may be candid advice, perspective, and goal-directed solutions to pressing problems. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific goals. I realize that counseling can seem intimidating for some, so I will work with a format and at pace with which you are most comfortable.
My counseling style is down-to-earth, warm, and empathetic. I believe in meeting a person where they are in guiding them along their journey. I believe every person has intrinsic value and worth, and I treat everyone with dignity, respect, and compassion. I also favor a person-centered, individualized approach that embraces self-determination, empowerment, and resiliency. I value holistic care, which seeks to improve overall wellness and health. My approach is eclectic in nature and combines person-centered, strength-based, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, brief solution-focused, mindfulness, and reality therapy. Additionally, I may assign worksheets from time to time to promote introspection and insight.
I applaud you for being here today and your quest to improve your overall well-being and happiness. It takes courage and strength to seek a more fulfilling life and to contemplate change. When you are ready to take that next step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you on your journey!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Great!
Working with Maria Britt in my healing journey is been a positive experience for me I like how she prepares before a visit and ask me what would like work on or talk about. I like this approach because it really helps me get ready for the session and allows me to focus on the topic. Maria listens to me and recommends the idea or how to approach a situation. Her perspective and her explanations is very helpful and allows me to understand more about myself.
Very easy to talk to. Provides great insight and feedback. Never had a complaint.
Amazing therapist
Maria is charming and thoughtful in her approach. I am the type who wants to be challenged in therapy, and not just appeased or confirmed. Maria has that integrity, and I can believe what she's saying is from an honest place. She has been very helpful and I highly recommend.
Maria is just…. A natural. Great listener, asks questions that make you truely reflect on what goals you’re trying to achieve. She doesn’t force anything, but continues to encourage forward and positive progress
I love Maria Britt. Amazing and compassionate!
Maria is amazing. She takes the time to listen to you, works with you, very understanding and is easy to get ahold of!
Maria helped me reach my therapy goals. She was always prompt, friendly, responsive, and helpful.
María has been so helpful throughout this journey of learning to work through my anxiety and my mindset about myself. She’s giving me very helpful tools to help me grow. In just the couple sessions we have had together, she’s empowered me and made me feel understood. I don’t ever feel that my feelings and thoughts are invalid, she makes me feel that I’m allowed to feel the way I do but always encouraging me to progress in my self. Thank you so much for guiding me and helping me be a better version of myself!! You are the best!!!

Awesome first impression
I love working with Maria! She has truly helped me through some things even though I just began talking with her.
She really listens and I feel comfortable talking about anything with her. She’s got me through a lot of rough times in my life and I’m thankful for her advice and making me think outside the box.
She's the best! Talking to her is like talking to a good, honest friend.
Maria has been nothing but supportive and kind to me. If something is not in her expertise, she understands quickly, is a fast learner, and seems to make every attempt to understand. But that doesn't happen much, and it's never been a problem. She is very good at what she does and is extremely knowledgable. I am very happy with my therapist!
Maria is wonderful and speaks wisdom and life to me each session we have. I trust her to be a voice of reason and sounding board when I am not entirely sure how to move forward. She is kind and comes from a place of encouragement! Thankful for her!

She's the best! She listens to me, always has amazing advice, is patient with me, and super responsive.
I've really enjoyed working with Maria. I felt an immediate connection with her. She has really helped me make sense out of a lot of troubling issues that I have had going on recently, and when I felt embarrassed or shameful about things that I thought were really big, she helped to normalize those experiences and make them less frightening. I truly appreciate her nurturing yet honest approach and am really glad that I was connected with Maria. I highly recommend her.
