Maureen Mccullum is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with more than 15 years of experience supporting children, teens and families. She is licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and South Carolina and brings extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, parenting and family concerns, grief and loss, career challenges, ADHD, trauma, emotional dysregulation and end-of-life issues.

Maureen emphasizes an accepting, strengths-based style that respects each person who chooses to begin therapy. She supports clients as they increase self-awareness, identify strengths and build practical tools for daily life. Her work with youth and family systems focuses on improving communication, managing behavior and navigating transitions with sensitivity and compassion.

Clinically, Maureen integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and mindfulness practices, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each individual s needs. She aims to balance empathy with gentle encouragement to try new strategies and build resilience. Maureen maintains a regular weekly schedule - Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with appointments beginning at 8:00 AM and concluding by 6:00 PM, and Wednesdays beginning at 12:00 PM with the last appointment scheduled at 8:00 PM - to provide consistent availability for ongoing work.

She frames the work of therapy as a collaborative process that honors courage and the steps people take toward a more fulfilling life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Maureen uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. ACT is practical for people coping with anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions because it emphasizes living in line with personal priorities rather than getting stuck in avoidance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core approach she uses - it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing concrete skills to change behavior and emotional responses. CBT is effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress and many everyday challenges.

Mindfulness therapy is incorporated to help clients cultivate present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Simple mindfulness practices can support coping with stress, impulsivity and emotional dysregulation while complementing other therapeutic strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Maureen works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes and access support from home. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to deliver effective, goal-focused care that matches each client's way of working.
