About Maria
Dr. Maria Peters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with two decades of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering steady, direct support and practical steps to move forward.
Many come for anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, or trouble managing anger and addictive behaviors. She believes each person knows their story best and that therapy is a collaborative effort. Sessions center on clear goals and small, useful changes.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help in daily life, like improving communication, building coping skills, and managing upsetting memories. Dr. Peters draws on several approaches to meet different needs.
She uses client-centered work to follow the client's lead and build trust, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Gottman Method ideas to address relationship patterns. When trauma is present, she may include EMDR-informed strategies to process painful memories. Her style is practical and warm.
She helps people sort through grief, parenting stress, body image concerns, chronic illness adjustments, career worries, and issues tied to attachment or abandonment. She also supports clients dealing with ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and co-occurring conditions. Therapy options include video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The focus is on finding what fits each person's life and goals, then working steadily toward clearer thinking, improved relationships, and better day-to-day functioning.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Dr. Peters uses methods that adapt well to remote work. The Gottman Method focuses on clearer communication and managing relationship patterns, which can be practiced in-session and applied between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current connections and helps people notice and change repeating patterns in relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and homework to try between sessions.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try strategies that fit their situation. If something does not feel right, she adjusts the focus and techniques so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and practice of communication skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support short updates, between-session coaching, and flexible check-ins during busy weeks. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping consistent progress.
