About Maria
Dr. Maria Peters is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns.
She approaches clients with respect and a belief that people know their own story best. Her style is straightforward and supportive for someone taking a first step toward change. In sessions she listens first and asks practical questions next.
Background and approach
She helps people notice patterns that cause pain and try small changes that can make daily life easier. That may include learning new ways to cope with anger, build self-esteem, or manage sleep and eating concerns. Her work draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
She also uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. For trauma she offers EMDR as one of several tools she may suggest. Clients who want support with identity and relationship topics will find relevant experience, including work with LGBT concerns, intimacy issues, commitment problems, and communication struggles.
She also addresses complex situations such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, and grief. Dr. Peters aims to make therapy practical and collaborative.
She helps people set achievable goals, practices new skills in session, and tracks progress together so changes feel real and measurable.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and feelings, helping people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn different, healthier ways to connect. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist following the client's lead to support self-discovery and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Dr. Peters will talk with each person about their goals, history, and preferences, then suggest techniques that match those needs. She works collaboratively so the plan can shift as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online therapy lets people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls enable face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and make it easier to get brief support during the week. These options aim to increase flexibility and make consistent care more feasible for different schedules and circumstances.
