Maria Phillips (she/her) is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Pennsylvania. She holds a master’s degree in Art Therapy and Counseling from Drexel University and maintains licensure to provide clinical counseling services in the state - her credential is recorded as PA LPC PC013867. Maria has three years of professional experience supporting individuals and families.
She has worked with people facing grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and specific neurodevelopmental needs. In addition, Maria addresses a broad range of concerns including stress, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, LGBT and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career difficulties, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
Maria offers a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach that blends eco-systemic structural family therapy with dialectic behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. She aims to tailor the therapeutic experience to each person by attending to emotional needs, strengths, values, and cultural identity.
Throughout the counseling process she helps clients build skills for managing difficult emotions and resolving conflict while encouraging growth in self-relationship and the development of healthier patterns with others.
Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person appointments.
One major benefit is convenience and flexibility - individuals can choose the format that fits them best, whether that is a video call, a phone session, a live chat, or messaging through an app. This range of options often makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide these services, and if a different match is needed at any time, clients may switch therapists. Online formats can support the same kinds of therapeutic goals as in-person work, making them a viable option for many people seeking help.
