About Maureen
Maureen Kirchhoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 40 years of professional experience, licensed to practice in Wyoming and neighboring states. She works with adults 21 and older on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low motivation, self-esteem, depression, and life purpose concerns.
Her approach centers on listening and helping people make sense of what they are facing. Sessions focus on the client's story and current concerns. Maureen adapts conversation and methods to each person's needs, and she offers faith-based counseling when requested.
She uses client-centered methods that place the person's priorities first. Mindfulness techniques are used to help calm the body and notice difficult thoughts. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and considers different ways to tell them.
Psychodynamic ideas can help identify repeated patterns that interfere with goals. Systemic thinking looks at how relationships and roles shape choices and stress. Together these approaches give several angles to work from when someone feels stuck or is rethinking next steps in life.
Maureen emphasizes practical conversational work rather than labels or quick fixes. She meets with individual adults only and does not do couples or family sessions. People considering therapy are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to see how the work might fit their situation.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Maureen draws on client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on what matters most to the client. That means the conversation follows the person's priorities and goals. Mindfulness Therapy is used to help people notice bodily reactions and ground themselves when anxiety or grief feels overwhelming, often with short practices during a session. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories a person tells about their life and examines alternatives to those stories to open different choices.Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review concerns, goals, and personal preferences together. Over the first few meetings they adjust methods so the work fits the client's pace and needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.
Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let a person choose a quieter setting or a phone-only session if that better suits their comfort and bandwidth.
