About Maureen
Maureen A-Ngeh is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the District of Columbia (LICSW) with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and difficulties related to parenting, career, and life transitions.
She focuses on practical, interactive sessions that emphasize listening and clear steps clients can try between meetings. Sessions look at thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems going. Maureen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing to offer practical strategies and moment-to-moment skills.
In practice she prioritizes respectful, direct conversation and collaborative problem solving. She works with clients to set goals and then breaks those goals into small, achievable tasks. Progress is tracked through observable changes and agreed actions rather than vague promises.
Maureen has worked in hospital and community settings with a wide range of ages and situations. That background informs a focus on coping skills for acute stress and longer-term patterns that affect mood and relationships. She explains methods in plain language and models new ways of responding during sessions.
People who choose her can expect structured sessions, short practical exercises, and guidance on next steps. To begin, follow the site's process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How CBT, ACT, and client-centered work translate to online sessions
Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that increase anxiety or low mood, and then tries small experiments to change those patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and to build willingness to accept difficult feelings while moving toward meaningful actions. Client-centered methods focus on listening and reflecting what matters to the client so goals come from the person's own priorities.Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to try methods and see what fits best for their goals and preferences. That might mean focusing on skills from DBT for emotion regulation for a while, or using motivational interviewing techniques to address behavior change, depending on the situation.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills in the settings where problems happen and to review homework quickly between sessions.
