Natasha Maritim, LICSW

Natasha Maritim is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in the District of Columbia. She draws on three years of hands-on experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and addictions. Natasha invites clients to use their own strengths while working toward clearer goals and better day-to-day coping.

She treats the person, not just the problem. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps, testing what works, and building habits that fit real life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central tool she uses to help people change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.

Natasha also supports concerns around self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career stress, compassion fatigue, and coaching for life transitions. She pays attention to how workplace demands, isolation, or immigration challenges affect mood and functioning. Conversations aim to uncover manageable strategies for each situation.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She helps clients set short-term goals, track small wins, and adjust plans as needed. The emphasis is on practical, achievable change rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

To begin, Natasha asks people to reflect on what they want to change and what already helps them. She offers steady support while clients practice new skills between sessions. This makes progress feel tangible and useful in everyday life.

Using CBT online to build practical skills

Natasha practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. CBT breaks big problems into small steps and uses exercises between sessions to build new habits and confidence.

The right approach is found together. Natasha works collaboratively to match techniques to each person’s goals and daily life. She listens to what helps, adjusts plans when needed, and encourages regular review of progress so the work stays relevant.

For online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so therapy can be kept consistent. Online work can make it simpler to practice new skills in real-time situations and to carry learning straight into everyday routines.
