More about Maureen

- Female
- LCSW
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years experience in a variety of settings. My clients have included people dealing with Depression, Anxiety and other mood disorders; Chronic Illness; Childhood Trauma; Gender and Sexual Identity Issues; and Substance Abuse. I strive to create a warm, inviting and judgement free space for my clients to share their issues and concerns. Together we explore how you came to be who you are today and evaluate where you want to be in your life going forward. Therapy is a process of self-discovery and my role is to be a knowledgable and compassionate guide. I help to build insight by actively listening and sharing observations and tools to promote self-awareness and improved coping skills.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
