About Maria
Maria Wilson, LCSW, is licensed in Indiana and has 15 years of clinical counseling experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, grief, eating issues, parenting and anger. She also focuses on bipolar concerns, coping with life changes, coaching, and compassion fatigue.
Maria uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in her work. She adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Her approach is direct and practical, with attention to how problems affect daily life and relationships.
She has substantial experience working with teens and with family-related concerns such as adoption, foster care, fatherhood issues, and divorce and separation. Other focus areas include codependency, communication problems, control issues, and domestic violence. She also sees people facing complex conditions like autism spectrum traits, personality concerns, cancer, and co-morbidity.
Her sessions emphasize developing skills, clarifying goals, and addressing painful memories where needed. Techniques may include behavioral experiments, emotion regulation skills, and trauma processing methods. The therapist’s practice balances symptom-focused tools and reflective conversations about meaning and values.

How Maria’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective and active listening. Online sessions using this approach focus on helping people describe their concerns and set goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) centers on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. In remote sessions CBT typically uses brief exercises, homework, and skill-building to change unhelpful patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses trauma memories through structured processing. When used remotely, EMDR follows the same phased protocol with adaptations for pacing and guidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to attend from work breaks or other convenient times. Licensed professionals can use a mix of skills-based exercises and narrative work effectively in remote sessions.
