About Maitey
Maitey Etienne is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family conflict, low self-esteem, and depression.

Maitey believes clients know their own stories and brings practical support to help people use their strengths. Sessions focus on talking through issues, identifying small changes, and practicing new responses that fit daily life. She encourages straightforward goals and concrete steps rather than abstract plans.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps people spot unhelpful thinking and test different behaviors to see what works. Work often includes role practice for difficult conversations and short exercises to reduce stress between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative. Maitey and the person she is working with set priorities together and track progress over time. She describes therapy as a place to try new ways of handling hard moments and to build skills for real situations.
Sessions are conducted in English and follow professional social work practices consistent with her Florida LCSW credential. People who want to start are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see how this approach fits their needs.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques work in online sessions
Maitey uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on concrete skills and behavior change. That means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of responding in everyday situations; this helps with anxiety, low mood, and confidence by making small, testable shifts. Another common approach is communication skills practice, where role plays and phrasing exercises are used to prepare for difficult conversations and reduce relationship strain.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maitey will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try first and adjust them based on what fits the person’s life and needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to practice skills in real time between meetings and to bring real-life examples into discussion. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so they work well in virtual sessions, and the therapist will guide how to apply techniques between appointments.
