About Maygen
Maygen Hicks is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina with four years of professional experience. She helps people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she focuses on matching help to each person's needs.
She adapts conversations and plans to fit the situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions are practical and focused on small, doable steps.
How Maygen works
Maygen aims to make each session feel supportive and easy to follow. Her background includes work addressing adoption and foster care challenges, attachment issues, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress. She also addresses body image, communication problems, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation.
This range helps when concerns overlap. Maygen pays attention to how life events and relationships shape daily struggles. She helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and strengthen coping skills.
Progress is approached in short, manageable goals so change doesn't feel overwhelming. People who choose her often want clear guidance and a collaborative tone. She encourages honest discussion and adjusts pacing to fit each person's comfort.
The aim is steady improvement in mood, confidence, and day-to-day functioning.

Online support options
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Maygen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in straightforward ways. One common approach focuses on identifying stressful patterns and building small coping skills. This kind of work helps with anxiety, low mood, and daily overwhelm by giving concrete practices to try between sessions. Another approach emphasizes exploring how past hurts and relationship experiences affect current feelings and behavior. That helps when trauma, attachment concerns, or adoption-related issues shape reactions and relationships.Finding the right method is a shared process. Maygen will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what is helping.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial cues and use direct interaction. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in fits the schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter updates, brief support between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family demands.
