Maria Byndom

Maria Byndom is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, career changes, grief, and parenting struggles. She also supports issues like addiction, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and intimacy-related concerns. Maria practices in Texas and speaks English.

Maria aims for practical, down-to-earth sessions. She tends to blend methods to match each person's needs rather than using a single technique for everyone. Sessions often focus on clear goals, small steps, and real-life changes that fit daily schedules.

She uses Narrative Therapy to help people make sense of their stories and see new possibilities. Solution-Focused Therapy is part of her work when clients want to identify immediate steps and build on strengths. These approaches are paired with coaching-style conversations when helpful for career or goal-oriented needs.

Her background includes work in employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, correctional facilities, acute psychiatric treatment facilities, and private practice. That variety informs a practical approach to common problems like parenting stress or workplace concerns.

Maria encourages collaboration on treatment goals. She invites clients to set priorities and experiment with small changes between sessions. This keeps work focused and easier to manage alongside everyday responsibilities.

How Narrative and Solution-Focused Approaches Work Online

Maria often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. This approach helps identify unhelpful patterns and opens space for new ways of seeing problems and strengths.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to zero in on practical next steps. That method focuses on what is already working and builds small, achievable goals to produce change quickly. It can be especially useful for career moves, coping with transitions, or short-term coaching needs.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maria will discuss options and tailor methods to match your goals, needs, and preferences. She treats the process as collaborative and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
