About Mentwab
Dr. Mentwab Wuhib helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression, trauma, and major life changes. She is a psychologist licensed in New York and Virginia with 15 years in the field.
Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at making day-to-day life feel more manageable. Dr. Wuhib began working in mental health in 2001, supporting adults with chronic and severe mental illness to reduce repeat hospital stays.
Since then she has provided therapy, consultation, and educational and diagnostic testing across different settings.
Background and approach
That early work shaped a focus on reducing severe disruption and improving daily functioning. Having lived in Africa, Europe, and the United States, she pays attention to cultural context and adapts care to a client's background and worldview. She blends short-term, goal-oriented strategies with deeper exploration of patterns that cause ongoing distress.
This mix helps people address immediate problems and longstanding issues that keep repeating. Her sessions often combine client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and psychodynamic ideas. She is also informed by trauma-focused and solution-focused methods when those fit a person's needs.
The work is collaborative - goals are set together and progress is checked as therapy continues. Dr. Wuhib offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, including evening and weekend options.
People who want to begin can use the platform's Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Online session options
How narrative and practical therapies work online
Dr. Wuhib often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how problems are described and finds alternative narratives that reduce shame and open new choices. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and creating a supportive space where clients set the pace and direction of work.She pairs those approaches with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when clients want practical tools for immediate symptoms like panic, intrusive thoughts, or social anxiety. CBT offers clear strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Together these methods allow both deeper reflection and hands-on skills building in a collaborative way. The therapist works with each person to choose what fits their goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are helpful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel and let people keep momentum between appointments.
