Dr. Maria Peters, LPC

Dr. Maria Peters is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, trauma and anger. Her practice speaks plainly to people who want new ways to handle snapping, built-up resentment, or heated moments at work and home.

She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying strengths they already use. Sessions focus on practical skills and small changes that reduce reactivity. That can look like learning clear communication, checking automatic thoughts, or practicing breathing and grounding techniques in the moment.

Dr. Peters uses approaches that address how relationships shape emotion. She draws on attachment-informed ideas to map patterns that repeat across relationships. Cognitive behavioral work helps people notice thought patterns that fuel anger and test different responses.

For trauma-related concerns she includes tools often used to process upsetting memories and reduce their hold on daily life. When relationship issues arise she may use elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and repair cycles of conflict. These methods are used as fits each person’s needs.

Practical matters such as work stress, parenting strain, grief, and caregiving demands are common topics. She also supports people coping with addiction, body image struggles, chronic illness, ADHD, and related concerns. Dr. Peters aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what people can use between meetings.
