About Maria
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 13 years of experience, Maria Byndom focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and life-transition concerns. She practices in Texas and works with people facing depression, parenting strain, career challenges, grief, addiction concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues. Maria also supports those dealing with family and adoption-related matters, attachment issues, body image, and caregiver stress.
Maria frames therapy as a practical, collaborative process. She uses Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside coaching techniques to help clients set goals and make changes. Sessions can include talking through problems, identifying workable steps, and revisiting progress in follow-up meetings.
Her background includes work in employee assistance programs, community mental health centers, correctional settings, acute psychiatric treatment, and private practice. That variety has shaped an approach that adjusts to the situation rather than relying on a single method. Maria draws on brief goal-oriented strategies when someone needs focused change and narrative work when people want to reframe recurring patterns.
Clients may come for short-term coaching around career moves or for longer clinical support for trauma, addictions, or mood concerns. She describes therapy as requiring time and effort from both people, and she aims to partner on realistic, stepwise change. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time.
Sessions are offered in English. International clients are not accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How Maria uses narrative and solution-focused methods online
Maria uses Narrative Therapy to help people name and reframe the stories that shape their behavior. That approach looks at how events are organized into a personal narrative and helps people spot recurring patterns they want to change. It can be useful for relationship problems, identity questions, and family of origin issues.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to create short-term, goal-driven plans. This method focuses on what’s already working and on small, concrete steps to move forward. It often fits people who want clear, measurable progress on career goals, coping with stress, or specific behavior changes.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Maria will collaborate with each person to decide which approach or mix of approaches makes sense for their needs and preferences. That means checking goals, adjusting techniques, and reviewing progress together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and allow people to join from different locations. Licensed professionals can use brief, focused sessions for coaching or longer visits for clinical issues depending on what a client needs.
