Maureen A-Ngeh

Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and career concerns. She practices in Maryland and brings a warm, interactive presence to sessions. Maureen focuses on listening first so clients feel heard and respected.

Clients meet a therapist who combines practical skills with steady support. She uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and feelings, identify strengths, and build small, useful habits. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and focused on what the client wants to change in daily life.

Maureen describes her style as empathetic and interactive. She emphasizes dignity and compassion in every conversation. The therapist works to tailor a simple treatment plan to each person's needs and goals.

Her methods include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavior strategies, and client-centered listening. These tools are used to address problems like coping with life changes, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, bipolar challenges, and ADHD-related concerns.

Maureen encourages practical steps alongside emotional work. She helps people set manageable goals, practice new behaviors, and track progress. The overall aim is to increase daily functioning and move toward greater balance and confidence.

How therapy methods translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward actions that matter. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where values and motivation need attention.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, stress, and problems at work or in daily routines.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools can help when anger, strong emotions, or relationship stress interfere with functioning.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This collaborative process aims to match techniques to real life priorities.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the currently offered formats before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy schedule, shortens travel time, and makes it easier to maintain regular check-ins around work or family demands. Discuss practical preferences during the intake so sessions align with daily life.
