About Maygen
Maygen Hicks is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in North Carolina with four years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She also focuses on concerns linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, blended family issues, body image, caregiver stress, and related areas.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions center on clear goals and on talking through what is getting in the way right now. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using a single method for everyone.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems going. Then she suggests manageable steps to try between meetings. That can include small behavior changes, clearer ways to communicate, or ways to cope when anxiety rises.
She recognizes how family history, adoption experiences, and attachment concerns can shape day-to-day reactions. When those themes are present, she helps people name the connections and practice different responses. The work can cover forgiveness, guilt and shame, or navigating separation and blended family stress.
Maygen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the work. She aims to keep sessions plain and practical so people leave with something to try that week. To begin, readers can use the site button to view online therapy options and schedule a first visit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based techniques are used to structure the work in a clear way. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes in daily life. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and repetitive worry by turning abstract thoughts into concrete experiments. Another common approach looks at relational patterns and attachment-related responses. That work helps people notice how past caregiving or adoption experiences shape current relationships and practice new ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss different methods and help decide which to try first based on the person’s goals and what feels manageable. That collaborative decision makes sessions more practical and easier to use between meetings.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try therapy from a quieter location or without needing to be on camera for the whole visit. Ask about current options when scheduling so sessions match daily routines and technical needs.
