About Maureen
Maureen Kirchhoff is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and CSW with 40 years of practice in Wyoming and surrounding states. She works with adults 21 and older on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. She also addresses self-esteem and relationship-related concerns in individual sessions.
Maureen focuses on practical conversation and listening. She adapts the dialogue and treatment plan to the person who comes in, and she can include faith-based perspectives when that matters to the client. Sessions are offered in English and are aimed at adults rather than couples or family meetings.
Her background includes work across several settings over four decades. That experience contributes to a flexible approach when people bring complicated histories like family of origin wounds, abandonment, or long-term isolation. She has also worked with caregiving stress, chronic illness and first responder issues.
Maureen draws on a mix of approaches to help people untangle feelings and make sense of patterns. She uses client-centered listening to focus on what matters most to the client. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas can help trace where guilt, shame, or old beliefs began and how they keep showing up.
People who come for help with guilt and shame can expect straightforward conversation about choices, values, and the effects of past events. The therapist helps people sort through forgiveness, grief, body image, and life purpose concerns at a pace set by the client.
How her approaches translate to online work
Maureen uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the concerns the client brings and aims to clarify what matters most. That approach fits well with steady online talks where the client decides priorities. Mindfulness therapy involves simple attention exercises and grounding practices to reduce reactivity; online sessions can introduce and practice these skills in short, repeatable ways.Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their choices. In sessions, the therapist helps separate the person from the problem and rewrite harmful narratives. That can be especially useful for people carrying guilt or shame who want to revisit how events are remembered and talked about.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, personal history, and preferences. If one direction does not fit, other approaches from her skill set can be tried in subsequent sessions.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time from appointments. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching process to pick what works best for daily life.
