About Maria

Maria Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with four years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief, or struggles with self-esteem. Maria emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based approach and encourages clients to notice the skills they already have.

She works collaboratively and centers each person's story when planning sessions. That means listening first, then shaping the work around what feels most useful to the individual.

Background and approach

Maria uses straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing to help people change unhelpful patterns and build small, realistic steps toward their goals. For concerns tied to past hurts and traumatic memories, she integrates EMDR alongside narrative methods to help people process painful events and reduce their emotional intensity.

Sessions also draw on client-centered principles so the pace and focus reflect each person’s comfort and priorities. Maria supports people facing addictions and process-related struggles with practical strategies and compassionate feedback. She pays attention to overlapping issues like co-morbidity, codependency, and complex family situations such as blended family challenges or adoption and foster care dynamics.

When grief and loss are central, Maria provides space to tell the story and find ways to carry difficult memories forward. Maria aims for concrete, manageable steps in therapy. She helps people set short-term goals, practice new coping skills between sessions, and track progress over time.

Starting therapy is a step forward, and she tries to make each session feel useful and understandable.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Maria draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change the thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or addictive patterns. CBT uses clear exercises and homework, which work well across video calls, phone sessions, or messaging for ongoing practice.

She also uses EMDR to help people process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR-informed methods can be adapted for online work with careful pacing and real-time processing during video sessions or structured check-ins by message when appropriate.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will listen to your goals and preferences and then suggest a mix of techniques that fit your needs. The plan can change as you try strategies and see what helps most, with decisions made collaboratively in session.

Online sessions offer flexibility for people juggling busy days or limited travel options. Video calls let you work face-to-face; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low; live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and practice skills consistently.
