About Maria
Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of experience working in mental health. She practices in Mississippi and draws on long experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and anger.
She holds 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. Maria has worked across many settings and with a wide range of concerns, including substance use and bipolar disorder. Her training background and years in the field inform a practical approach to everyday problems.
In sessions she uses straightforward listening and problem-solving. Some people come for a chance to vent and be heard. Others want specific tools to manage moods, handle workplace frustration, or rebuild trust in a relationship. She often integrates short exercises or worksheets to prompt reflection between meetings.
Maria favors a person-centered stance combined with goal-focused techniques. She blends cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused methods, mindfulness, and reality-oriented strategies to help people handle intense feelings and make choices that fit their life.
Her style is down-to-earth and direct. She adapts pace and format to what each person needs and works at helping clients build practical skills for managing anger, coping with life changes, and improving day-to-day functioning.
How sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Maria works from evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and short exercises. Cognitive-behavioral ideas look at unhelpful thinking and teach ways to change responses to stress and anger. These techniques help with workplace frustration, mood shifts, and repetitive negative thoughts.She also uses solution-focused methods that zero in on small, practical steps. These are brief, goal-oriented tools that help people try things between meetings and track what works. Mindfulness-based strategies are used to build awareness of bodily cues and moment-to-moment reactions, which can reduce the intensity of anger when it arises.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and daily routines and then try methods that best fit those needs. It is common to adjust strategies over the first few sessions until there is a good fit.

Others appreciate being able to work through exercises and worksheets between sessions to reinforce what was discussed.
