About Maureen

Maureen Farrell is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation challenges, and she lists ADHD among her areas of focus.

Background and approach

Maureen frames therapy as a collaborative process where clients are supported and empowered to move toward a more fulfilling life. Her approach blends evidence-based techniques and relational understanding to address both immediate concerns and longer-standing patterns.

She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral work and client-centered listening to help clients build practical skills, boost confidence, and cope with life changes. Maureen also attends to specific concerns including bipolar disorder, eating issues, compassion fatigue, and social anxiety while offering care for related areas like life purpose, isolation, and seasonal mood shifts.

Sessions are offered in English and organized to fit each person’s needs and availability. Her practice aims to create a respectful, strengths-based environment where people can explore goals, practice new strategies, and make steady progress toward improved day-to-day functioning.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Maureen commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting therapeutic relationship so clients feel heard and supported while exploring goals and values. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques and pacing so the work fits the individual. Over time methods may be combined or shifted to match progress and changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain consistency, try strategies between sessions, and access care from varied locations, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor sessions to the client’s preferred way of communicating.
