About Maureen
Maureen Farrell is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She brings eight years of professional experience to sessions and focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation challenges. Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth.
She listens first and helps people name what matters most to them. Conversations aim to turn small steps into clearer choices and steadier days. Maureen combines practical tools with time to reflect.
Background and approach
She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused strategies to set concrete goals. She also draws on client-centered and psychodynamic perspectives to understand patterns that get in the way of change. Common concerns she helps people with include career strain, eating issues, bipolar mood management, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes tied to aging or transitions.
She also supports people exploring identity and LGBT-related stress, social anxiety, panic, and seasonal mood shifts. Sessions are aimed at building coping skills and clearer plans. Maureen works with each person to set manageable goals and to practice tools between meetings.
The emphasis is on steady progress, honest conversation, and adapting strategies to fit everyday life.

How Maureen’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead so sessions match what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and decide on goals that feel right to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to shift patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and low self-esteem. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term, collaborative way to build motivation and find personal reasons to change, which can help with career shifts, habit change, or getting through a tough time.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then shape sessions together. That way the plan can change as needs do, and techniques are picked to fit daily life rather than a fixed formula.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone calls can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging can be good for brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, long workdays, or times when a shorter contact is helpful.
