Maureen A-Ngeh, LCSW-C, LICSW

Maureen A-Ngeh is a licensed clinical social worker in Maryland and the District of Columbia with ten years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, parenting strain, grief, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Maureen helps people who are overwhelmed by life changes and relationship strain to find practical ways to cope.

Her style is interactive and client-centered. She listens first, then helps people pick strategies that fit their situation. Sessions focus on skills you can use day to day, such as changing unhelpful thinking, building acceptance around difficult feelings, and learning new ways to respond when anger or frustration arise.

Maureen draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches. She uses clear treatment plans and measurable steps so progress is easier to track. The work often combines skill teaching with talking through what gets in the way of using those skills.

She has experience across community and hospital settings and has worked with people at different life stages. That background informs a practical focus on coping strategies for stressful environments and transitions. Sessions aim to reduce the day-to-day impact of symptoms and help people manage triggers more effectively.

To begin, Maureen asks about current concerns and goals, then co-creates a path forward with each person. She encourages straightforward conversations about what's working, what isn’t, and next steps to try.
