Maritza Ejenbaum, LCSW

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and speaks English and Spanish. Her work centers on helping people regain control when stress, anxiety, or life changes feel overwhelming.

She helps people learn practical skills to manage anxiety and depression. She supports those coping with addictive behaviors and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. She also assists clients who want to understand how early life experiences shape current relationships and self-worth.

Her approach is respectful and collaborative. She treats each person with dignity and tailors therapy to fit individual needs rather than using a single method for everyone. Building trust and working together are central to her process.

Sessions often include education, skill-building, and exploration of patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients develop healthier responses to stress and improve self-esteem and personal empowerment. Her background includes work with diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, and spiritual identities.

Maritza brings many years of practice to concerns across the lifespan, including parenting, career shifts, grief, mood disorders, and issues related to aging. Her goal is to help people make steady, realistic changes that fit their daily lives.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and feelings of safety. In sessions this may look like talking through relationship patterns and learning new ways to connect with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Clients often use simple exercises between sessions to build new habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own goals and pace; the therapist listens closely and supports the client in finding their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal style. That choice can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.

If you plan to try online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and skill practice for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
