About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English and Spanish. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, and parenting challenges.
She focuses on giving practical skills people can use between sessions. That includes tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, strategies to cope with intense emotions, and ways to improve communication. She also helps clients understand how early life experiences affect current patterns.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with attachment-focused and person-centered methods. Sessions emphasize clear goals, skill-building, and collaborative problem solving. Clients can expect direct discussion of patterns and small experiments to try new responses outside therapy.
Maritza draws on many years working with diverse backgrounds and a wide range of concerns. She pays attention to cultural and identity factors when they affect relationships and mood. Her practice includes support around career decisions, midlife transitions, grief, and issues related to sexual orientation.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process where trust is built over time. The work is practical and straightforward - noticing thoughts and habits, testing alternatives, and tracking what helps. To begin, people are asked to complete an intake step and schedule a first session through the site's matching tools.
How her approaches translate to online work
Maritza blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy in straightforward ways online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior experiments to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses and helps people try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's experience and prioritizes listening and collaboration while developing goals.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals and preferences and recommend methods that fit the issue and the person's way of working. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adjust techniques as needed.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients practice newly learned skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into session for discussion.
