About Maribeth
Maribeth Theisen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 40 years of experience. She offers calm, steady support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and depression. She focuses on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Sessions aim to create a respectful space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. The tone is encouraging and goal-oriented, with attention to small, achievable changes. Her background includes decades working with trauma and abuse survivors and people managing chronic pain, illness, or disability.
How Maribeth works
She also helps with communication problems, social anxiety and phobia, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Maribeth uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She supports clients in building coping skills, improving sleep habits, and strengthening self-confidence.
Progress is paced to fit each person’s needs. Clients can expect direct, compassionate conversation and practical suggestions. The therapist emphasizes empowerment - helping people notice what is working and what to try next.
That approach aims to make change feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Approaches that guide online care
Many clients benefit from evidence-based techniques that target symptoms and build skills. One common approach emphasizes practical coping strategies and skill building to reduce anxiety and manage stress. This involves learning short tools to interrupt worry, breathing and relaxation techniques, and step-by-step plans for tackling difficult moments.Another helpful approach focuses on processing trauma and past harm in a paced way, aiming to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and their impact on daily life. Work of this kind combines gentle talk, grounding strategies, and planning to increase safety and day-to-day functioning.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That partnership includes checking in about what is helping and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer session or visual cues help. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send brief updates, ask questions between sessions, or have shorter check-ins when it fits their schedule.
