About Maureen
Maureen McEachen is an LCSW and LICSW with 10 years of clinical experience and a history of practice in California and Washington, DC. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as sleep and self-esteem. Maureen also lists support for LGBT concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears among her approaches and she also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to address patterns of thinking and connection. Mindfulness and client-centered methods are part of her toolkit as well.
Her background includes a specialty credential in hospice and palliative care, with experience helping people manage serious illness and loss. That work shaped her focus on grief, end-of-life concerns, and caregiver stress. She previously provided mental health care in the Washington, DC area before relocating to California.
In sessions she talks through coping strategies, problem solving, and ways to change unhelpful habits and thoughts. Sessions tend to emphasize practical skills people can try between meetings, such as behavioural experiments and mindful practices. She also attends to attachment and relationship patterns that affect intimacy and communication.
Maureen works in English and does not accept international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How Maureen integrates approaches and online sessions
Maureen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT focuses on concrete steps - tracking patterns, trying short experiments, and reviewing what changes. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and problems with motivation or habits.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help when people want to move forward despite ongoing stress or grief. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect current intimacy and communication problems.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist and client decide together which approaches fit the client's goals, preferences, and the problems they bring to sessions. That collaborative process makes it easier to try strategies and adjust them over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They can also support regular practice of skills between sessions, which many people find useful for applying CBT and mindfulness work.
