Maria Britt

Maria Britt is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Mississippi with 20 years of experience in the mental health field. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from Mississippi State University, and an Education Specialist degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology from the University of Missouri. She has worked with both adolescents and adults and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, self-esteem and depression concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.

Her approach is warm, down-to-earth, and empathetic, aimed at meeting each person where they are and guiding them toward their goals. She is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in both Arizona and Mississippi. Maria emphasizes a person-centered, strength-based perspective that respects each individual’s dignity and capacity for resilience, and she values holistic care that attends to overall wellness.

Maria integrates several therapeutic methods to suit each client’s needs, blending cognitive-behavioral techniques, humanistic and brief solution-focused strategies, mindfulness practices, reality therapy, and other approaches as appropriate. She tailors sessions and treatment plans to the specific goals and pace of the person she is working with, and may occasionally suggest worksheets to encourage reflection and insight.

Counseling can look different for everyone - sometimes people need a supportive listening space, other times they seek concrete strategies or guidance for decision-making. Maria aims to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment that supports self-discovery, empowerment, and practical progress. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek change and offers steady support when clients are ready to take the next step.
