Maja Wheeler, LPCC

Maja Wheeler is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and adjustment to life changes, and also supports those struggling with guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, questions of life purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. She offers therapy in English and Russian to meet a range of communication needs.

Maja approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she emphasizes tailoring conversation and treatment plans to the individual. Her work aims to help people build coping skills, address patterns that maintain distress, and find practical paths forward after difficult experiences. Seeking change can feel daunting, and Maja frames the therapeutic process as a supportive, empowering collaboration to help clients take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Evidence-based approaches for online therapeutic care

Licensed professionals often use structured, skills-focused interventions that help people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn practical techniques to manage symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. These approaches emphasize skill building - such as coping strategies and problem-solving - that can reduce day-to-day distress and support better emotional regulation.

For clients working through addiction or difficult life changes, therapists frequently offer relapse-prevention and coping-focused work that strengthens motivation, identifies triggers, and builds routines that support recovery and resilience. For those affected by trauma and abuse, trauma-informed care provides a paced, supportive path for processing experiences and developing safety and stability over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Maja collaborates with each client to determine which evidence-based techniques best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy in her practice is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling, easier access from home, and multiple ways to communicate based on what feels most comfortable for the client.
