Maria Wells is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wyoming with four years of professional experience. She works with people navigating stress and anxiety, coping with addictions, healing from trauma and abuse, and managing grief and loss.

Those who choose to work with her can expect a strengths-based, empathetic perspective aimed at understanding their story and helping them pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maria Wells integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and EMDR into her online practice to address a range of concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and supporting clients to explore their feelings and values, which can be helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, often used for stress, anxiety, and addictions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that can assist people in processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional intensity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Maria collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps tailor interventions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy with Maria is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location while maintaining continuity of care when in-person sessions are not possible.
