About Maitey
Maitey Etienne is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression. She also helps people who are wrestling with communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, self-love, and questions about life purpose.
She works from the view that each person understands their own story best. Sessions focus on identifying strengths that can be used to manage current challenges. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to small steps that can change day-to-day life.
Maitey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address feelings of overwhelm and stuckness. She helps clients sort through where they are, what matters most, and what concrete next steps could look like. Discussions often cover how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships interact and what to try differently.
When relationship or family concerns come up, she helps individuals talk through patterns and practical communication skills. For issues like guilt, shame, or low self-esteem, Maitey supports clients in recognizing unhelpful self-talk and building more balanced self-views.
Her approach is collaborative: she works with each person to set goals and track progress. People can expect straightforward conversation, actionable ideas, and attention to how change fits into everyday life.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Maitey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships affect wellbeing. Cognitive-behavioral style work looks at unhelpful thinking and tests new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Skills-based approaches teach communication and problem-solving steps that help with relationship or family conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review your goals and preferences with you and together decide which techniques to try first. Sessions are collaborative and may shift over time based on what is helping and what feels workable.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can make shorter check-ins simpler and remove travel time so therapy fits around jobs, appointments, or caregiving. Confirm current session options before booking to understand available formats and choose what fits your routine.
