About Maygen

Maygen Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in North Carolina with four years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She also pays attention to adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and caregiver strain.

Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, identify patterns, and try manageable changes that fit daily life.

Maygen works with topics such as body image, communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She also addresses issues like guilt and shame, impulsivity, and dependent personality traits. For younger clients with behavioral symptoms, she has experience related to Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD).

In sessions she listens for what is working and what is not. Then she and the client set clear steps to practice between meetings. The focus is on concrete strategies that relate to parenting, relationships, work demands, and everyday routines.

She practices in English and provides care in North Carolina. Getting started involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.

BHow sessions work

Approaches the therapist uses and how online sessions fit

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques often include methods that focus on processing difficult experiences and methods that teach practical skills for daily life. For example, trauma-focused work typically helps people name and make sense of painful memories so those memories interfere less with day-to-day functioning. Skills-based approaches focus on building tools such as stress management, emotion regulation, and communication skills that people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, current struggles, and preferences and help decide which techniques to try first. That plan can change over time based on what helps and what does not, and the work is adjusted through regular conversations with the client.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let a therapist guide quick skill practice between appointments or use shorter check-ins when that fits a client's schedule.
