About Maria
Maria Krause is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada with 10 years of experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and the fallout of big life changes. Maria also addresses relationship strain such as codependency, commitment issues, communication problems, and concerns around separation or divorce.
Maria focuses on practical skills people can use between sessions. She helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, set clearer boundaries, and practice self-directed coping strategies. Conversations are straightforward and aim to leave people with one or two things to try before the next meeting.
Her background includes work with substance use and process addictions, and supporting people dealing with guilt, shame, or forgiveness. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide recovery and behavior change rather than relying on vague promises. Sessions often involve role-playing communication, examining choices, and planning concrete next steps.
Maria pays attention to life stage challenges such as midlife transitions and the emotional ripple effects of breakup or divorce. She also supports people exploring non-traditional relationship arrangements like polyamory and non-monogamy by focusing on clear agreements and personal boundaries. Over time she helps clients build steadier routines and clearer ways to protect their time and energy.

How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Maria draws on evidence-based techniques to address symptoms and patterns that keep showing up. One common approach focuses on behavioral change and practical skills. This involves identifying small, repeatable actions to reduce anxiety, manage urges related to addiction, and support mood regulation. It helps people get immediate coping tools they can use day to day.A second approach emphasizes communication practice and boundary work. Sessions often include role-play, scripting hard conversations, and planning step-by-step ways to set limits. This helps with relationship strain, codependency patterns, and commitment issues by giving people concrete ways to act differently.
Deciding which approaches to use is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. That way the work stays practical and focused on what the client wants to change.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which online options are offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to virtual sessions so progress continues between meetings.
