Maureen A-Ngeh

Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting struggles, anger, and related issues. She practices in Maryland and brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions. Maureen uses a warm, interactive style that centers on listening and respect.

She aims to build a trusting relationship where clients feel heard and treated with dignity. In session she uses clear, practical conversation to identify what is getting in the way of day-to-day functioning. Sessions focus on skills, insight, and steps the client can try between meetings.

Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Maureen tailors a simple treatment plan to each person’s needs and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Maureen emphasizes strength-based work and problem solving. She helps people learn new coping strategies and change patterns that cause distress. The aim is to reduce disruption in daily life and increase a sense of control.

If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady support and practical guidance. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used so clients can connect with her according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT can help people manage anger, anxiety, and life changes by clarifying what matters and building actions around those values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-based, often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress when clients want clear strategies to change how they react to situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to the client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying one approach first and adjusting as progress and feedback guide the work.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into busy days and reduce travel time. Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments, fit therapy around work or family obligations, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT practices to an online setting so clients learn tools and skills they can use between sessions.
