About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with 36 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and a range of life transitions. Maritza also addresses concerns such as addictions, intimacy-related issues, eating struggles, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD. She offers services in both English and Spanish.
Maritza draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help clients notice and name difficult emotions. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and to build a collaborative working relationship. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential approaches also inform sessions when practical skills or bigger life questions are helpful.
In sessions she teaches coping skills to manage stress and anxiety. She helps people look at how early life experiences affect current patterns. Work may include learning concrete strategies for mood management, understanding compulsive behaviors, or improving communication around personal needs.
Her practice attends to grief, compassionate fatigue, aging and geriatric concerns, and multicultural issues. Maritza emphasizes respect and mutual collaboration while helping people process guilt, shame, codependency, or commitment worries.
People who want a therapist who blends emotion-focused work with practical tools may find her approach useful. She guides clients to better manage reactions and make clearer choices about relationships, work, and personal well-being.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name hard-to-reach feelings and the patterns that follow. It is often used when emotions and attachment patterns are central to someone’s concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people test new ways of relating to needs and emotions.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and pace. The therapist listens closely and adjusts the work to what the client brings. Together they decide which methods to try, combining emotion-focused exploration with practical CBT skills when helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods based on goals, preferences, and what shows up in early sessions. That may mean shifting between deeper emotion work and skill-building tasks as needs change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten routine check-ins, and allow work without travel. They also make therapy accessible when schedules or distance would otherwise make meeting difficult.
