Maritza Ejenbaum

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience supporting people through life changes. She practices in North Carolina and works with individuals from varied cultural and sexual orientation backgrounds. Maritza aims to help people reduce the hold of stress and move toward greater self confidence.

She teaches practical skills to manage anxiety and depression. She also helps people address addictive behaviors and the ongoing effects of trauma and abuse. Maritza pays attention to how early life experiences affect present day choices and relationships.

Her approach is collaborative and respectful. She believes therapy should match each person's style rather than follow a single method. Building trust is treated as a shared responsibility between therapist and client.

Maritza combines several approaches to meet real needs. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at relational patterns and Emotionally-Focused work to address feelings in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors that keep problems going.

People come to Maritza for many concerns including stress, grief, parenting strain, career uncertainty, and coping with life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, self esteem struggles, ADHD, and mood concerns. Her style is practical, calm, and focused on helping people take clear steps forward.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds affect current reactions. It helps when people notice repeated relationship struggles or a sense of disconnection. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and accepting each person as they are, which helps when someone needs space to sort values, grief, or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches small practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that helps keep momentum. They also let people work with a therapist who speaks English or Spanish without needing to commute. Discuss practical scheduling needs during the initial matching and when arranging appointments.
