About Maureen
Maureen McEachen is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate grief, loss, and major life transitions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship and intimacy concerns. Her work also addresses addictions, trauma, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.
Maureen practices in California and brings ten years of clinical experience to sessions. She moved to California from the Washington, DC area and shifted her focus toward coping strategies and support around life changes.
How Maureen works
She also earned a specialty credential in hospice and palliative care, with emphasis on serious illness and end-of-life issues. Her approach combines practical skills with listening and reflection. That means identifying small steps to manage symptoms and using adapted strategies from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness and acceptance ideas are woven in to help people make clearer choices about what matters to them. Attachment-focused work informs how she looks at relationship patterns and communication. Client-centered principles guide the pace and tone of sessions so people set the agenda and goals.
Motivational interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or facing ambivalence. Sessions aim to be straightforward and collaborative. Maureen supports people as they sort priorities, build coping routines, and make decisions during stressful times.
She welcomes questions and will outline practical options during an initial conversation.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed actions that move a person toward what matters, which is useful for grief, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It tends to include practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and preferences, then suggest techniques that fit. She collaborates to try methods and adjusts them over time so the plan reflects what actually helps in everyday life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing facial cues matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and messaging suit short updates, brief coaching, or people who prefer typing. These options make scheduling more flexible and let therapy fit around work, caregiving, or mobility limits.
