Maritza Ejenbaum, LCSW - Therapist in North Carolina

About Maritza

Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker with 36 years of experience. She is based in North Carolina and works in both English and Spanish. She focuses on practical support for parents and caregivers, and on family and parenting concerns among many others.

She helps people manage stress so it does not control daily life. She teaches skills to reduce anxiety and cope with depression. She also supports those dealing with addictive behaviors, grief, and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Maritza pays attention to how early life experiences shape today’s choices and relationships. She works to increase self-esteem and personal empowerment after trauma and abuse. Her approach values respect, dignity, and collaboration in every session.

Sessions are shaped to fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone. She blends methods to match a person’s needs, preferences, and goals. This means conversations can include practical skill-building, emotional work, and exploration of life purpose.

Her practice draws on long experience with diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, and spiritual backgrounds. She is licensed in North Carolina as an LCSW and also holds a Florida license. Parents worried about behavior, school, or family conflict can expect clear guidance and steady support.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections. It helps people understand patterns in parenting, family interactions, and close relationships so they can build safer, more dependable bonds.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and pace. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and helps the person discover solutions that feel right for them. This approach supports self-esteem and personal growth in a straightforward way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful thinking and building healthier habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to get short check-ins between appointments, or to choose the format that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep work consistent while tailoring session length and style to each family's routine.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
