About Maureen
Maureen A-Ngeh, MD, LCSW-C, LICSW helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, and related struggles. She writes short, direct plans with each client and focuses on practical steps parents can use at home. Her manner is warm and interactive so conversations feel straightforward and focused on what matters most to the family.
With ten years of experience in clinical social work, Maureen uses a mix of common therapy tools to meet each person where they are.
Background and approach
She emphasizes listening first, then works with clients to set small, realistic goals. Sessions aim to build on strengths and teach skills that reduce overwhelm between meetings. Her style is empathetic and respectful.
She says dignity and compassion guide how she meets people. The tone of sessions tends to be collaborative rather than prescriptive, with room for honest, sometimes practical problem solving. Maureen draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based strategies to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.
She also incorporates client-centered principles that put the person’s priorities at the center of the work. Motivational techniques are used when people want help making changes but feel uncertain about how to start. Located in Maryland, Maureen supports parents and adults through transitions, mood concerns, anger, career questions, ADHD, and long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder.
She helps people find manageable steps forward and supports them as they try new ways of coping.

Online approaches that fit parenting and life stress
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes by teaching simple awareness and action steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and tries small experiments to change them. It can help with mood, anxiety, and managing parenting-related stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers on creating a respectful, listening space where the client's goals guide the work and practical solutions grow from that relationship.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change over time as people learn what works best for them.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging can help with ongoing reminders and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family life while keeping focus on practical steps and skill practice.
