About Maria
Maria Krause is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and depression. She works with individuals facing big life changes and emotional challenges, offering practical tools and steady support. Her approach is warm and inclusive.
Sessions focus on clear steps clients can use between meetings, like communication skills and daily coping strategies. She emphasizes building self-compassion and reducing shame so people can try new ways of handling problems.
Background and approach
Maria has supported people through divorce, separation, and midlife transitions. She also helps those coping with process addictions and substance concerns, and people who want healthier relationship patterns such as addressing codependency or commitment issues. Her practice pays attention to how guilt, forgiveness, and self-love affect recovery and growth.
Drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, Maria tailors interventions to each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Treatment plans include goal-setting, practical exercises, and conversations that help clients understand recurring patterns. The focus is on what works in everyday life.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Maria practices in Nevada as an LCPC and brings a decade of hands-on counseling experience to each session.
Evidence-based tools for online support
Maria uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as breathing techniques, grounding, and step-by-step behavioral changes. These tools help manage symptoms in day-to-day situations.Another element is pattern-focused work that looks at recurring thoughts and behaviors linked to addiction, shame, or relationship problems. This helps people recognize cycles and try different responses when old patterns arise. Both approaches aim to build self-compassion and stronger communication skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods over time. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep or change.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging helps with brief updates or ongoing practice. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care.
