About Maribeth
Maribeth Theisen is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, licensed in Hawaii with 40 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, self-esteem, and depression. Her work also includes chronic pain, illness and disability, communication problems, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, self-love, and women's issues.
She uses clear, direct conversation to help people sort through what matters most. Sessions focus on practical steps and everyday routines that affect mood, sleep, and energy. The goal is to identify small changes that make daily life easier and more manageable.
Maribeth helps clients name sources of stress and develop ways to reduce their impact. She addresses traumatic experiences with attention to how those events affect current thoughts, feelings, and relationships. When sleep is a problem, she looks at habits, timing, and behaviors that can be adjusted.
For people living with chronic pain or illness, she works on coping strategies and communication with caregivers or medical providers. In conversations about self-worth and life purpose, she helps people clarify values and rebuild confidence step by step.
Her approach is straightforward and grounded in practical tools. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin work together.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic techniques and online sessions
Many of Maribeth's approaches are evidence-based techniques that focus on changing habits and thinking patterns. One common approach addresses sleep and daily routines by identifying behaviors that help or hinder rest and then trying practical adjustments to improve sleep over time. Another approach targets trauma-related reactions by helping people notice how past events shape current responses and by practicing strategies to reduce overwhelming reactions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Maribeth will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Treatment is collaborative and may shift as needs change.
The original biography does not list specific session formats. Please confirm the available online session options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, and remove travel time so therapy fits into a busy life. It can also let someone use phone-only sessions when less bandwidth is needed or video when face-to-face interaction helps progress.
