About Maritza

Maritza Ejenbaum is an LCSW who brings 36 years of practice to her clinical work in North Carolina. She has maintained licensure in both North Carolina and Florida and has spent decades helping people address whatever is keeping them from becoming a stronger, more resilient version of themselves.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes teaching practical skills for managing stress, reducing anxiety and depression, and coping with addictive behaviors while also addressing the lasting effects of trauma and abuse. Her work draws on multiple therapeutic perspectives to tailor treatment to each person’s needs, including helping clients understand how early life experiences influence current relationships and patterns.

She places importance on building mutual respect and collaboration within the therapeutic relationship and views seeking help as an empowering decision. Maritza also focuses on strengthening self-esteem, improving communication, and supporting life transitions such as career changes, parenting challenges, and grief.

She offers services in English and Spanish and works with a wide range of presenting concerns across the lifespan.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Maritza draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, using practical exercises and skills-building to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy is another lens she uses to explore how early relationships shape current emotional responses and to strengthen interpersonal security and connection through reflective work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then blends methods to create a personalized plan rather than relying on a single technique. This collaborative stance helps clients try strategies and adjust course as therapy progresses.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, travel, or life transitions and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that work best for them.
