About Maureen
Maureen A-Ngeh, MD, LCSW-C, LICSW helps people navigate stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. She emphasizes listening first and building a trusting relationship so people can talk through what feels overwhelming. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at practical change rather than jargon.
She brings ten years of experience working across community and hospital settings in the Maryland and District of Columbia area. That background includes supporting people facing trauma, grief, parenting challenges, and long-term mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
Background and approach
Maureen draws on everyday strategies that people can use between sessions. In sessions she takes an interactive, empathetic approach. She focuses on helping people feel heard and treated with dignity and respect.
From there she and the client set clear, realistic goals and track progress together. Her method combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered principles, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to reduce distress, build coping skills, and clarify values that guide next steps.
Maureen frames therapy as teamwork. She helps people identify strengths, try new behaviors, and adjust plans when needed. Her aim is to support gradual changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, then take actions that match their values. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Maureen will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful when seeing facial expressions and body language matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief exchanges between sessions or for people who prefer typed communication. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, or busy schedules.Questions people ask about Maureen
