Maureen Mccullum

Maureen Mccullum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 15 years of experience. She practices in Pennsylvania and focuses on everyday challenges like anxiety, depression, parenting stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Maureen aims to meet people where they are and help them move forward with practical, understandable steps.

Her sessions center on respectful, compassionate conversation. She emphasizes helping clients notice their strengths and build on them. The therapist offers encouragement and gentle prompts rather than judgment or pressure.

Maureen draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, paired with mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools. That mix is used to reduce overwhelming thoughts, clarify values, and create small, doable behavior changes. She adapts the approach to each person’s goals and pace.

In practice she focuses on clear, plain talk about problems like trauma, emotional dysregulation, ADHD, addictions, and life transitions. Expect practical strategies, skill practice, and attention to how daily routines affect mood and stress. The tone aims to be steady and hopeful.

To begin, a client follows the site process to match and schedule a first appointment. Maureen outlines availability and works with people to set realistic plans. She frames therapy as a step toward more meaning and manageable days.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts without getting stuck and building actions that match personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often involves keeping simple homework to practice new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try out strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan based on what actually works in day-to-day life.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fit with busy schedules and the ability to join sessions without traveling. Online work can make it simpler to keep consistent check-ins, try short focused sessions when needed, and practice strategies in real-life settings between meetings. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and what will best fit your routine.
