About Maria
Dr. Maria Peters helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship pain. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use between sessions.
Her work centers on listening closely and building on each person's strengths. Dr. Peters is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC - with 20 years of experience in Texas.
She uses methods that include hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused ideas, client-centered conversation, and EMDR when appropriate.
Background and approach
She explains options clearly and tailors work to what the person needs right now. In a typical session she helps people name what is most pressing and choose small, doable changes. That might mean practicing new ways to handle anxiety, shifting patterns in close relationships, or working through past hurts that keep showing up.
She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, body image, chronic illness, and parenting strain. Dr. Peters emphasizes collaboration.
Sessions are a chance to try approaches, check what helps, and adjust plans together. She encourages clients to use skills in daily life so progress feels real and manageable. People can expect straightforward conversation, guided exercises, and steps to try between meetings.
The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes. Dr. Peters aims to make therapy feel like a practical part of healing and growth.

Online support
Approach options for online work
Dr. Peters uses hypnotherapy to help access focused attention and guided imagery for habits, anxiety, and pain management. She also applies attachment-based ideas to look at how early connections shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change daily routines and mood.Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will discuss these options with each person, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels helpful. The goal is to match techniques to the client's goals and comfort level rather than to stick to a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for interactive exercises and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick coaching, writing through thoughts, or keeping momentum between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules, needs, and daily routines.
