About Maja
Maja Wheeler is a Minnesota licensed professional counselor clinical candidate who helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. She works with adults facing depression, addictions, trauma, and big life changes. Maja aims to offer calm, practical support in straightforward conversation.
She favors a respectful and compassionate approach. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, realistic steps they can take between meetings. Maja adapts the tone and pace to match each person’s needs and comfort level.
Background and approach
Over six years she has guided people through recovery from addictive behaviors and through processing past abuse and trauma. She also helps people manage social anxiety and phobia, and address persistent feelings of guilt, shame, or isolation. Her experience includes working with common life stressors that affect mood and daily functioning.
Maja emphasizes collaboration. She and the client shape goals together and review progress often. The aim is practical change that fits day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.
Sessions are offered in English and Russian, and are available through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Maja’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Many evidence-based techniques focus on changing unhelpful thought patterns and building coping skills. One common approach looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood running, teaching practical skills to shift them and reduce daily distress. Another approach centers on managing reactions after trauma by helping people process difficult memories and regain a sense of control in daily life. These methods are often paired with skill-building for stress management and relapse prevention when addictions are present.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together you’ll try methods that fit your needs and adjust the plan as progress is reviewed over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience when conversation and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step skill coaching, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make scheduling easier and help maintain continuity of care across life’s changes.
