About Maxine
Maxine Rabinowe is a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts with 43 years of practice. She helps people who are managing family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and life changes. She speaks English and works with adults seeking support for these issues.
Her style centers on listening and responding to whatever a person brings to a session. She uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to the individual, psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns tied to family of origin, and mindfulness practices to help with managing strong emotions. Sessions are straightforward and focused on the problems a person wants to solve now.
Maxine often supports people dealing with complicated family problems and strained relationships at home. She also addresses grief and end-of-life concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, and workplace-related stress. She will talk through how past experiences shape current reactions and help identify small, practical steps forward.
Her approach is conversational rather than technical. People can expect reflective listening, questions that explore background and meaning, and simple exercises to practice between meetings. She acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage and encourages clients to start at a pace that feels manageable.

How sessions work
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the client says is most important. It helps people who need a place to sort out feelings and decide next steps.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice and name emotions and physical reactions. These skills can reduce overwhelm during grief, trauma memories, or caregiving stress.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks for patterns that repeat from past family relationships. It can help people connect current difficulties to earlier experiences and make different choices now.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maxine will discuss these methods with the client and together they will decide which fits the person's goals and preferences. That decision can change over time as needs shift.
