Maureen Kirchhoff, LCSW, CSW

Maureen Kirchhoff is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 40 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low motivation, and self-esteem. She works with adults and shapes sessions to fit each person's needs. Maureen emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

She uses a mix of approaches tailored to the client. That means listening first, then choosing strategies that suit the situation. She can include faith-based counseling when clients want that considered.

Maureen has long experience helping people process loss and trauma. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, body image and aging concerns. First responder issues, family of origin patterns, and feelings of isolation are part of her focus areas.

Her approach includes client-centered work that follows the client's lead, mindfulness techniques to ground difficult emotions, and narrative methods to reframe stressful stories. Psychodynamic and systemic ideas may inform deeper patterns and relationships when useful.

Maureen is licensed to practice in Wyoming and nearby states and holds the credentials LCSW and CSW. She sees individual adults 21 and older and does not offer couples or family counseling.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions allow that same guiding presence by keeping the conversation centered on what matters most to the person. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to help manage anxiety and stress. These exercises can be led over video or phone and practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity. Narrative therapy helps people tell and reshape the stories they carry about themselves and their relationships, which often translates well to conversation and written reflections done between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made, and clients are invited to give regular feedback so the plan stays useful.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Practically, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports using audio-only or video conversations when those better match a client's bandwidth, schedule, or comfort level.
