Maureen McEachen, LCSW, LICSW

Maureen McEachen is an LCSW and LICSW who helps people navigate grief, loss, and major life transitions. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns alongside aging and geriatric issues. Maureen uses straightforward conversation to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

She has ten years of clinical experience and relocated to California after practicing in the Washington, DC area. Early in her career she concentrated on mental health and depression, then broadened her work to include hospice and palliative care. That specialty credential informs how she supports people facing serious illness and grief.

In sessions she emphasizes clarity and usable tools. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to build tolerance for difficult feelings and clarify what matters most.

Maureen also brings an attachment-based perspective to relationship and intimacy issues. That approach looks at patterns in how people connect and helps them try new ways of relating. Her work includes support for caregivers, people coping with chronic illness or disability, and those managing life stage changes.

Her manner is calm and practical. She invites people to talk through whatever feels hardest and to set manageable goals. To begin, readers should select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. That method often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and supports people who want different ways of connecting with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest what approaches might fit best. The decision about methods is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Session format details are not specified here, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone have therapy from wherever they are that day. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to an online setting and help clients practice skills between meetings to support progress.
