About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker with decades of experience supporting people through life’s hard moments. She practices in North Carolina and brings 36 years of work helping clients who face stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and addictive behaviors. Maritza speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy accessible and straightforward.
She focuses on helping people manage stress so it does not control their lives. She teaches practical skills for anxiety and mood problems.
Background and approach
She also helps people understand how early life experiences shape current relationships and self worth. Maritza believes therapy should respect each person’s dignity. She works with direct, collaborative methods so people feel heard and involved in decisions.
Her style combines warmth with clear skill-building so sessions feel useful from the start. Her approach is flexible by design. She adapts methods to match a person’s needs rather than forcing one model on everyone.
That can mean learning new coping tools, talking through relationship patterns, or sorting through grief and life transitions. People come to Maritza for a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, career stress, identity and cultural questions, intimacy and commitment issues, and mood shifts.
Her long experience includes work across diverse backgrounds, and she aims to meet each person where they are and help them move forward.
Approach-focused care online
Attachment-based work values the way close bonds shape feelings and reactions. This approach helps people notice patterns in relationships and learn new ways to connect and trust that reduce anxiety and conflict. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and pace. It focuses on listening, reflection, and helping people find their own solutions to life problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then tailor methods to fit each person's situation. You and the therapist decide together which tools to try and adjust them as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Sessions can be video calls when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions when bandwidth is lower or a shorter check-in is needed, live chat for quick exchanges, or text-based messaging for ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule around work, caregiving, or travel while still using therapeutic methods that aim to create real change.
