About Maria
Maria Krause is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Nevada with ten years of experience. She supports people facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and big life changes. Maria aims to create a welcoming, affirming space where people can begin to untangle difficult emotions and patterns.
She focuses on practical skills for day-to-day coping. Clients work on communication skills, building self-compassion, and reducing shame and guilt. She also helps people who are navigating grief, separation, or the stresses that come with midlife transitions.
Codependency and relationship patterns are a common focus. Maria helps people notice unhelpful habits, set clearer boundaries, and make choices that match their values. She also provides support for process addictions and substance concerns without promising specific outcomes.
Her approach draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and is tailored to each person. Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward, with tools and small steps people can use between meetings. The work balances immediate relief with long-term change.
Maria offers a respectful, nonjudgmental tone and centers the person in front of her. People looking for steady, practical guidance around stress, addiction recovery, or relationship patterns may find her style accessible and goal-oriented.
Evidence-based approaches and making them work online
Maria draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on approaches that teach skills and change unhelpful patterns. One common method she uses is skills-based work that teaches clearer communication and emotional regulation; this helps with anxiety, relationship strain, and everyday stress. Another consistent emphasis is on building self-compassion and addressing shame and guilt, which supports recovery from addiction and improves decision making around relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client talk about goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan over time. Maria aims to match practical tools to what feels doable for each person rather than pushing a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as finding times that work around work or caregiving, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to continue momentum between in-person visits and to help apply new skills in everyday situations.
