    About Maureen

    Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maryland. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, parenting strain, anger, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and life transitions. Maureen emphasizes a respectful, caring relationship to help people feel heard and begin making changes.

    Her style is interactive, empathetic, and warm. She prioritizes listening and treats each person with dignity and compassion. Sessions focus on building trust and practical steps that fit the client's life.

    Maureen draws from several approaches, including Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and increase meaningful action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered principles and techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful.

    Across ten years of practice she has worked in hospital and community settings. That experience contributes to a flexible, down-to-earth approach that aims for realistic goals. Treatment plans are tailored to each person’s needs and adjusted over time.

    Maureen encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward their goals. She offers supportive coaching and problem-solving in sessions, while helping people build skills they can use between visits. If someone is ready to begin, she guides the next steps toward scheduling and planning care.

  2. How Maureen’s approaches work in online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons to change. It uses open questions and reflective listening to build readiness and confidence for taking next steps. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

    Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values. It supports handling difficult thoughts and feelings so they get less in the way of living a meaningful life. Maureen also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, which emphasize being heard and respected while the person sets the pace and goals.

    Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen will work with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

    Session logistics should be confirmed before booking, since formats were not specified in the provided biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. People should confirm the specific formats offered when they schedule so they know what to expect and can plan sessions that work with everyday life.
