About Maureen

Maureen McEachen is an LCSW and LICSW who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD among other challenges.

Background and approach

With a practice grounded in supporting life transitions and coping with serious illness and loss, she draws on a decade of clinical experience to help clients navigate difficult changes and rebuild a sense of balance.

Her background includes work in Washington, DC earlier in her career and a later move to California, along with a specialty credential in Hospice and Palliative Care that informed her approach to end-of-life and bereavement support.

Maureen integrates evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-informed work, mindfulness practices, and client-centered techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs. She aims to create a thoughtful, collaborative space where practical strategies and emotional processing can coexist, helping clients strengthen coping skills and clarify values as they move forward.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maureen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so people can act in ways that matter to them even when difficult feelings arise, and it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transition concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and coping with day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adjust the plan over time so interventions match evolving needs and priorities.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to maintain consistency during busy schedules, manage mobility or caregiving constraints, and access therapy from different settings while working toward practical coping skills and emotional processing.
