Maureen Mccullum

Maureen Mccullum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 15 years of experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and focuses on helping people who are facing depression, anxiety, career concerns, parenting stress, grief, and ADHD. Maureen tends to meet clients with practical, down-to-earth guidance and steady support.

Her work is rooted in listening and building on each person's strengths. Sessions emphasize respect, sensitivity, and compassion, with occasional gentle prompts to try new steps. Maureen adapts conversations and plans to match what each person needs and wants to accomplish.

She uses a mix of cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and mindfulness in sessions. That combination aims to help people notice unhelpful patterns, decide what matters to them, and take small, doable steps toward change.

Maureen has a long history helping people navigate trauma, emotional dysregulation, and end-of-life questions. She also addresses a wide range of concerns like addictions, eating and body image issues, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and life purpose questions.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Maureen will work with someone to set clear goals and try strategies between sessions. She invites people who are ready to take steps toward a more manageable and meaningful life to begin that work together.

How her approaches guide online work

Maureen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting ruled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, or stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maureen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then tailor the blend of methods. She works together with clients to try strategies in real life and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow a check-in during a work break. Some people prefer shorter phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited, while others choose video for a more face-to-face conversation. Licensed professionals can help pick the option that fits each person’s routine and needs.
