Maura Skehan, LCSW

Maura Skehan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida who focuses on helping people through hard life moments. She has eight years of experience supporting those facing grief, addictions, depression, anger, and major life changes. Maura aims to make the first steps toward help feel manageable and respectful.

She works from a person-centered and strengths-based outlook. That means sessions focus on each person's needs, values, and abilities rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Maura draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and a holistic view to help people rebuild routines and sense of self.

In practical terms, she offers a supportive space for talking through loss, coping with compulsive behaviors, and navigating emotional ups and downs. She helps people notice patterns, practice new coping skills, and set small, realistic goals for change. Conversations are kept straightforward and grounding so progress feels achievable.

Maura also helps with caregiver stress, divorce and separation concerns, guilt and shame, forgiveness work, and growing self-love. She frames these topics as parts of a larger healing process that can involve practical steps and reflective conversation. Her approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s readiness.

If you are unsure where to begin, Maura encourages taking a single short step - completing a matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial session - to see if this approach fits your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside a person-centered and strengths-based outlook. A person-centered approach focuses on listening closely to each person's priorities and pacing the work to their readiness; it helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through grief, addiction concerns, or life changes. A strengths-based approach highlights existing skills and resources, helping people build on what already works while setting small, achievable goals for mood and behavior changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maura treats the selection of techniques as collaborative. She will discuss options, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on your goals and what feels most helpful in session.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy week, reducing travel time, and making it easier to keep regular check-ins during transitions. The original biography does not list which specific session formats are offered, so please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Sessions are arranged to help therapy fit into everyday life and routines without assuming a particular format.
