About Maritza

Maritza Ejenbaum is an LCSW with 36 years of clinical experience providing psychotherapy to people from diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, and spiritual backgrounds. She is licensed in North Carolina and Florida and has focused her career on helping clients move past obstacles that limit personal growth.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as addressing addictive behaviors and the emotional effects of trauma and abuse. Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods and is tailored to each person’s needs rather than relying on a single technique.

Maritza helps clients explore early life experiences and attachment patterns to understand how those dynamics influence present-day relationships and self-worth. She prioritizes respect, dignity, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, aiming to help people build self-esteem, increase empowerment, and develop healthier coping strategies for life transitions and ongoing challenges.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Maritza offers a compassionate, client-centered style that supports skill-building alongside deeper emotional work. Her practice also addresses concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting challenges, career and life purpose questions, ADHD, and multicultural concerns, with treatment plans shaped to each individual’s goals and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics; it helps people understand attachment styles and work toward more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that identifies unhelpful thinking patterns and develops strategies to change behaviors and emotional responses, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions and connection in close relationships, helping partners or individuals create new, healing interaction patterns that improve intimacy and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively to determine what fits best. She will discuss goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, then combine methods as needed to match your needs rather than relying on a single model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, access supportive care from home, and use different communication styles for coaching, skills practice, or deeper emotional work with licensed professionals.
