About Maygen

Maygen Hicks helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She is a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina and brings four years of professional experience to her work. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.

She focuses on practical steps that people can try between sessions. She creates a simple plan with each person. That plan is based on the issues they bring and the goals they want.

Background and approach

Conversations are tailored to fit each person’s needs rather than following a fixed script. She aims to make sessions clear and usable for everyday life. Maygen listens first, then helps identify small changes that can reduce stress and improve mood.

She works with parents on concrete parenting concerns and supports people affected by adoption or foster care and attachment issues. She also addresses body image, caregiver strain, and loneliness in practical ways. When trauma or abuse is part of the story, she focuses on safety and steady progress.

For problems like impulsivity, communication difficulties, or relationship strain after separation, she helps people find manageable steps forward. She also supports those facing gender questions, guilt, shame, and the pressures of caregiving. The approach is collaborative and paced to what the person can handle.

Maygen encourages small experiments between sessions and reviews what worked. Her aim is to help people build confidence and routines that stick over time.

Online support

Evidence-based techniques and flexible online care

Maygen uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage emotions and build coping skills. One approach emphasizes practical coping skills and behavior changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood, using step-by-step strategies that people can try between sessions. Another approach focuses on processing trauma in a paced way, helping people increase safety and tolerance for difficult memories while working toward gradual relief.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your concerns, try approaches that match your goals, and adjust based on what helps. This lets the person and therapist find a method that fits preferences and day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule or use less bandwidth, live chat is good for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets people share thoughts between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
