Maureen McEachen, LCSW, LICSW

Maureen McEachen is an LCSW and LICSW who helps people facing life transitions, grief, and stress. She listens carefully and focuses on practical ways to manage change. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at making difficult moments easier to carry.

She moved to California two decades ago from the Washington, DC area, where she worked extensively with depression and other mental health concerns. That background shaped her interest in coping skills and steady support during hard times. Her hospice and palliative care specialty informs how she approaches serious illness and end-of-life concerns.

Sessions are meant to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Maureen draws on mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and cognitive-behavioral tools to explore thoughts, feelings, and actions. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered ideas to focus on relationship patterns and personal values.

Clients often work on clearer communication, managing anxiety or depression, and navigating major life events. She also addresses issues such as addiction, intimacy-related concerns, sleep problems, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Her experience includes work with aging and geriatric issues, chronic illness, and hospice-related needs.

Maureen brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice in California. She holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and the Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker credential (LICSW). She offers sessions in English and does not accept international clients.

Approaches that guide online care

Maureen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps toward what matters. ACT supports coping with painful thoughts and feelings while still moving toward chosen goals.

She also weaves in mindfulness techniques to help reduce reactivity and build steady attention to the present moment. These skills can help with anxiety, sleeping issues, and stress related to caregiving or serious illness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide what fits best based on current concerns, goals, and daily life. That process can include trying different tools from ACT, mindfulness, or cognitive-behavioral approaches and adjusting them over time.

Confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people keep continuity of care during life transitions while working with licensed professionals.
