About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience and holds LCSW licensure in North Carolina and Florida. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, addictions, and concerns tied to identity and life transitions. Maritza also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Maritza helps people learn skills to respond to stress instead of being driven by it. She teaches ways to manage anxiety and depression, reduce harmful coping like addictive behaviors, and strengthen self-esteem.
Her work pays attention to how early life experiences shape current patterns. That can include looking at attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and family of origin influences. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, forgiveness, and the weight of guilt and shame.
Maritza uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and existential questions about meaning and purpose.
Her practice aims for mutual respect and collaboration. She views therapy as a joint process where trust is earned and methods are adjusted to fit each person. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she practices in North Carolina while not taking international clients.
How Maritza blends approaches for online work
Maritza uses a mix of approaches that suit different problems and goals. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and helps with trust, intimacy issues, and attachment-related anxiety. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person brings, giving space for the client to lead the topic and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is practical for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Maritza discusses goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then adapts methods as therapy continues. That collaborative process means techniques can shift if something isn’t working or needs to be strengthened. Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, or have a shorter check-in when needed. They can also allow someone to work through issues like guilt, shame, grief, or relationship patterns from wherever they are, while the therapist and client decide together which methods to use and how often to meet.Areas of expertise
