About Maritza
Maritza Ejenbaum is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 36 years of experience. She has practiced in Florida and North Carolina and helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, and changes in life stage.
She works in plain, practical ways to reduce stress so it does not control daily life. Sessions often include learning concrete skills for anxiety and mood management, talking through relationship patterns, and addressing the effects of trauma and abuse. She also helps people build self-esteem and regain a sense of personal agency.
Her practice emphasizes respect, dignity, and collaboration. Maritza believes therapy should be tailored to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone. She aims to earn trust and work side by side with clients toward realistic goals.
Her background includes extensive experience across ages and diverse cultural, ethnic, sexual orientation, and spiritual backgrounds. She draws on multiple approaches to match the work to each person, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy.
Maritza also speaks English and Spanish, and she can support people dealing with challenges such as codependency, caregiving or aging concerns, ADHD, grief, and career transitions.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current bonds and trust. It helps people notice patterns in their close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions to problems like low self-esteem or life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits by changing patterns of thinking and behavior.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maritza will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts the plan as needs change rather than sticking to one rigid method.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed in her biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow quicker check-ins, and reduce travel time. They also let people continue care during life transitions while working together on stress, relationships, coping skills, and grief without requiring an in-person visit.
