About Maureen

Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinician with an MD and dual social work licenses who brings ten years of practice supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar challenges, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, family issues, career transitions, and anger.

Background and approach

She practices in Maryland and blends practical strategies with empathetic listening to help clients restore balance when life feels overwhelming. Maureen emphasizes dignity, respect, and compassion in each session, creating a space where people feel heard and understood.

Her work is collaborative and interactive, combining Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, motivational interviewing, and client-centered principles to tailor a treatment plan to each person's goals. Maureen draws on strengths-based and solution-focused elements to promote manageable change and greater day-to-day functioning.

She welcomes those ready to take steps toward improved wellbeing and offers guidance and support throughout the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behavior, and it supports living in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and then developing practical skills to shift those patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can be used to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness through structured skills practice.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen works with clients to explore which methods resonate with their goals and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time so the plan fits the individual's needs rather than imposing a single model.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people juggling work, family, or other commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different communication styles, and continue progress from home or during transitions, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-informed approaches.
