About Maria
Maria Coyle is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 25 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, ADHD, addictions, relationship problems, parenting concerns, eating issues, and trauma-related difficulties.
She works with adults and young adults from varied cultural backgrounds. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can try between meetings. Maria aims to identify core problems and develop straightforward strategies that fit daily life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered methods to notice thought patterns and change unhelpful habits. She also uses motivational interviewing to support behavior change and solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals. These methods are described conversationally in session and applied to the issues a person brings.
Maria has worked in schools and private practice. That variety has shaped how she structures sessions so they are direct and goal-oriented. She pays attention to how family, identity, and life transitions affect mood and behavior.
When eating or self-harm concerns appear, she addresses them alongside other problems like depression or anxiety. For young adults, the work often centers on building routines, managing attention and emotions, and improving relationships.
People can expect a practical, step-by-step style that emphasizes noticing thoughts, testing new responses, and tracking progress. Before booking, confirm current session formats and scheduling details through the service’s online options.
How Maria integrates CBT and client-centered work online
Maria often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so a person can try concrete changes and track what helps. Client-Centered Therapy is used alongside CBT to keep sessions focused on the person's concerns and priorities, with the therapist listening and reflecting to clarify goals.She also brings Motivational Interviewing when change feels difficult. That approach helps a person weigh reasons to change and build motivation in small steps. Deciding which methods to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review progress and adjust approaches based on needs and goals.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are listed in the service. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people join from a quieter place. These practical benefits help make regular work on thoughts and behaviors easier to maintain alongside everyday life.
