About Maureen
Maureen Amos is a Licensed Professional Counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those managing major life changes. Maureen aims to create a calm, straightforward space where people can talk through what matters to them.

Background and approach
Maureen works with issues around attachment, body image, eating and food-related struggles, and the strains that come with career and life transitions. Her approach centers on recognizing each person's strengths and building practical skills. She encourages small, doable steps that reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Conversations focus on clear goals and techniques that can be practiced between sessions. Maureen holds LPC credentials and carries experience from settings across the District of Columbia and Virginia. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and treats clients as partners in problem solving.
The therapist emphasizes real-world changes over jargon and helps people turn insight into action. Beginning therapy with Maureen starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. She offers a respectful, steady presence for people ready to address stress, relationships, or recovery after difficult events.
Approaches and how online therapy fits
Maureen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical skills and trauma recovery. Skill-based work involves teaching coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing exercises, behavioral scheduling, and short exercises to interrupt unhelpful patterns. Trauma-informed methods emphasize safety, pacing, and processing difficult memories in ways tailored to each person's readiness.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, past experiences with therapy, and what feels most useful. That information guides a collaborative plan that can change as needs shift over time.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or recovery routines while keeping the focus on steady, goal-directed progress.
