About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience. She practices in North Carolina and works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, and issues around life purpose.
She helps people learn skills to manage stress so it does not control their day. She teaches coping tools for anxiety and depression and talks through patterns that keep addictive behaviors in place. She also supports people who want to understand how early life experiences affect current relationships and self-esteem.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered techniques. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical strategies, and honest collaboration between therapist and client. She describes therapy as a two-way process where trust is earned and mutual respect guides the work.
Maritza pays attention to cultural and identity differences and has experience with diverse sexual orientations and backgrounds. She offers services in English and Spanish and addresses topics like parenting strain, midlife decisions, career shifts, grief, and coping with life changes.
People who want a mix of practical skills and reflective exploration often find this style useful. She helps clients identify concrete next steps, practice new responses, and understand patterns that keep them stuck.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Maritza combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit well for people seeking clearer direction. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and collaboration to help someone name what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy offers practical strategies and skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. That approach helps when relationship patterns, trust, or emotional closeness are part of the problem. Together these methods let clients balance practical skill-building with deeper understanding of patterns and meaning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss different methods with the client and recommend paths based on goals, preferences, and what shows results in early sessions. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are expected as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they try new skills and make changes.
