About Maureen

Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland (LCSW-C) and the District of Columbia (LICSW) with ten years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, trauma and family issues. Maureen works with adults who want clearer coping skills and steadier reactions in everyday life.

She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people make practical changes. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that increase frustration and on building habits that reduce snapping or simmering resentment. Maureen blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Her style is interactive and client-centered. She guides people through short-term skills work and longer-term reflection when needed. Motivational interviewing techniques are used to help clients set and follow through on real goals.

Maureen has worked across community and hospital settings, supporting people through life transitions and difficult circumstances. That background informs a problem-solving approach aimed at restoring day-to-day functioning. She encourages clear plans for change and steady practice of new responses.

People who choose her often want practical tools for handling workplace frustration, reducing angry outbursts at home, or managing underlying anxiety that fuels irritability. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to set goals and next steps.

How sessions work

How her approaches shape online work

Maureen commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her clinical work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values rather than reacting on impulse. CBT focuses on spotting thought and behavior patterns that fuel anger and practicing different responses to reduce reactivity.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. During the first sessions she reviews goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Clients and she adjust the plan over time based on what helps most with day-to-day temper and functioning.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use tools and worksheets between meetings. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote work so skill practice can happen in the contexts where anger arises, such as at work or during parenting moments.
