Maritza Ejenbaum, LCSW

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience helping people navigate hard moments. She practices in North Carolina and works in both English and Spanish. Her background spans many issues, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting challenges.

Her approach starts with listening and respect. She believes therapy should be collaborative and tailored to each person. Maritza helps people learn practical skills to manage stress, reduce anxiety, and cope with mood changes so daily life feels more manageable.

She also focuses on understanding how early life experiences shape present patterns. That work often includes looking at attachment, codependency, and communication problems that get in the way of healthy relationships. Maritza supports people who want to rebuild self-esteem, address trauma and abuse, or work through grief and loss.

Practical tools are part of sessions. She draws on client-centered methods and cognitive-behavioral ideas to teach coping skills and to change unhelpful habits. Emotionally-focused and existential ideas help when people want to clarify values, purpose, or deeper relationship patterns.

Maritza emphasizes mutual respect and earning trust over time. She asks questions, offers exercises, and helps clients set realistic goals. If you want clear steps and steady support while you make changes, she invites you to begin the process.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the way early relationships shape how people connect today. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect; the therapist follows the person's pace and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with thoughts and behaviors, teaching specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful habits.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. Maritza will work with each person to pick or combine methods based on their goals and preferences. She emphasizes collaboration so clients help shape what happens in sessions and can adjust the plan as they progress.

Confirm the current session options before booking to know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when useful, and letting people meet from wherever they are located within the therapist's region. Licensed professionals can use these methods in remote sessions to teach coping skills, work through trauma narratives, and practice new relationship patterns in a way that fits everyday schedules.
