Dr. Mentwab Wuhib

Dr. Mentwab Wuhib is a clinical psychologist licensed in New York and Virginia with 15 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and major life changes. She also works with concerns such as attachment issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.

She began her career in 2001 working with adults who had chronic and severe mental illness to reduce repeated hospital stays. Since then she has provided psychotherapy, consultation, and educational and diagnostic testing across varied settings. Her work has taken her across three continents - Africa, Europe, and the United States - which has shaped how she thinks about culture and worldview in therapy.

In sessions she uses a collaborative, outcome-focused approach. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas and integrates trauma-focused thinking. That means clients can expect both practical skill-building and attention to patterns that developed over time.

Dr. Wuhib also uses client-centered, narrative, and solution-focused methods when they fit the situation. She aims to link everyday problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood shifts with clearer steps to manage them. Conversations mix short-term strategies with reflection on longer-term patterns.

She provides sessions by video and phone, and offers evening and weekend hours. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details through the platform.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions

Dr. Wuhib commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical methods to change reactions. CBT can help with panic attacks, social anxiety, mood shifts, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time and influence current relationships and behavior. This approach can help when people want to understand deeper sources of guilt, attachment difficulties, or recurring relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then adapt strategies as therapy progresses. That collaborative process makes it easier to try short-term tools alongside longer-term reflection.

The biography notes sessions are offered by video and phone and that evening and weekend hours are available. If you need other session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow check-ins without commuting, and offer options for shorter or later appointments when needed.
