I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia.
Life can be a rollercoaster and I am here to help you manage the dips and anxious turns so you can enjoy the ride more. I work with symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and I am an LGBTQ+ ally. My work with children through play activities is a passion of mine. I have worked with teens for 18 years, first as a high school counselor and now as a licensed therapist. I enjoy working with adults as they navigate their lives.
I like to engage in a conversation with my clients so you feel comfortable and feel safe. I always see it as an honor when clients share their stories with me.
My passion is to help people find joy again. You deserve it.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Maria Cottone. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Maria is a great therapist. She listens and actively talks through the situation, but she also is able to joke around and have a light-hearted conversation as well
Written on Feb 10, 2022 after therapy with Maria for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with life changes
