Maura Skehan, LCSW

Maura Skehan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with eight years of practice experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with addictions, grief, anger, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, mood disorders, forgiveness, and building self-love.

Maura uses practical conversation to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. She helps clients identify what is most pressing, set small goals, and try manageable changes. Sessions are straightforward and task-oriented when that fits, or more reflective when clients need to understand emotions and patterns.

Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques alongside person-centered and strengths-based ideas. That means attention to each person’s abilities and resources rather than only their problems. She works with clients to find ways to rebuild routines, manage intense feelings, and regain a sense of control after loss or upheaval.

Maura supports people through transitions by helping them name what’s changed and what they want next. She uses coaching-style steps when people need immediate coping tools and deeper discussion when people want to process grief or past hurts. Progress is often practical - better routines, clearer boundaries, or improved mood regulation.

If you are weighing therapy as an option, Maura guides the early steps: clarifying goals, choosing short-term tasks, and deciding what to try next. Her practice aims to make treatment understandable and workable within everyday life.
