Maritza Ejenbaum

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience helping people move forward. She practices in North Carolina and works with clients from diverse cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds. Maritza focuses on practical change and clear skills that people can use day to day.

Her work centers on helping people manage stress so it does not control their lives. She teaches ways to cope with anxiety and depression and offers guidance for addictive behaviors. Maritza also helps people process trauma and abuse and understand how early life experiences shape current patterns.

Sessions often include learning tools to build self-esteem and confidence. She emphasizes collaboration and mutual respect in therapy. Maritza believes therapy should be tailored to each person's needs rather than following a single method.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered practice, and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also uses emotionally-focused and existential perspectives when they fit the person’s goals. Maritza supports clients in exploring life purpose, career concerns, grief, and relationship challenges.

Maritza offers services in English and Spanish. She asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before scheduling so she can match the work to the person’s needs. The focus is on realistic steps people can try between sessions to make daily life more manageable and meaningful.

How her approaches fit online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand trust, security, and reactions in close relationships. Client-centered therapy concentrates on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are, which supports honesty and personal pacing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers clear tools to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust them based on how the person responds, so the work fits the client's life and needs.

Confirm current session formats before booking, since options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people meet from a location that reduces interruptions or let a person choose phone over video when less bandwidth or a quieter setup helps. Licensed professionals can use these options to shape a plan that matches practical needs while focusing on the goals discussed in therapy.
