About Maura
Maura Skehan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people manage hard life moments. She works with individuals facing grief, addictions, depression, anger, and major life changes. Maura practices from Florida and brings eight years of clinical experience to her sessions.
She aims to provide a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about painful feelings. Conversations focus on making sense of what happened and finding practical ways to cope day to day.
Background and approach
Maura emphasizes strengths and the resources people already have. In sessions she supports people through transitions like separation or caregiving strain. She also addresses issues such as guilt, shame, forgiveness, and building self-love.
The work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort level. Her approach is person-centered and holistic, meaning she looks at the whole person rather than just symptoms. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide treatment decisions and adapts methods to match what each person finds helpful.
Maura sees anger as a signal that something important needs attention and helps people learn safer ways to express and manage it. She also assists with mood disorders and grief so daily life can feel more manageable. Starting therapy is framed as a collaborative step toward rebuilding and healing.
What Maura works with
Everything Maura lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Maura's practice.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Maura uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to match each person's situation. One approach focuses on building coping skills for strong emotions like anger and overwhelming sadness. This involves learning practical steps to notice triggers, pause, and choose a safer response in the moment. Another common focus is grief and adjustment work, which helps people make sense of loss, find routines that support daily life, and gradually re-engage with valued activities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Maura will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on progress and comfort.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text can be helpful for brief updates, grounding exercises, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, caregiving, and travel.
