About Mentwab
Dr. Mentwab Wuhib is a clinical psychologist licensed in New York and Virginia with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, and life changes. Her work includes attention to attachment concerns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Her background began in 2001 working with adults who had chronic, severe mental illness to reduce repeated hospitalizations. She has since provided psychotherapy, consultation, and administered intelligence, educational, and diagnostic testing. Living and working across Africa, Europe, and the United States has shaped her understanding of different cultural perspectives.
In sessions she uses an outcome-focused, collaborative style. She draws on cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic methods and keeps trauma in view when relevant. That means practical skill-building can sit alongside conversations about long-standing patterns and emotional meaning.
People usually work with her on managing symptoms like panic, social anxiety, and mood difficulties while also addressing relationship patterns and the effects of past abuse. She frames problems in everyday terms and moves between short-term strategies and deeper work as needed.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches focus on practical steps and real-life changes. Client-centered elements mean conversations center on the person's concerns and immediate goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to manage anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.Narrative and psychodynamic ideas look at the stories people tell about themselves and recurring patterns that influence relationships and choices. These methods can help when people want to understand where their stuckness or relationship patterns come from rather than only reduce symptoms.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and adjusts techniques accordingly. That collaboration helps decide when to focus on skill-building, when to examine past patterns, and when to combine both approaches.
The biography indicates she offers video and phone sessions and provides evening and weekend times to fit schedules. If you need a specific format, confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, allow shorter check-ins during busy weeks, and let people attend from different locations without commuting.
