About Mentwab
Dr. Mentwab Wuhib helps people manage stress, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationship struggles. She is a clinical psychologist who works with mood disorders, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. Her tone is practical and focused on everyday coping skills rather than jargon. Dr. Wuhib has 15 years of experience in mental health practice.
She began working in 2001 supporting adults with chronic and severe mental illness to reduce repeat hospitalizations. Since then she has provided psychotherapy, consultation, and educational and diagnostic testing across many settings. Living on three continents - Africa, Europe, and the United States - shaped her awareness of different cultural perspectives.
Her approach is collaborative and outcome minded. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with psychodynamic ideas and keeps trauma in view during treatment. In sessions she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and reframe stories that get in the way of daily life.
Practical supports are a focus. Dr. Wuhib helps people build coping strategies for panic attacks, reduce social anxiety and phobia, and manage chronic stress that affects work and relationships. She also addresses attachment issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Therapy is offered with attention to scheduling needs, including evening and weekend hours. Sessions can be by video or phone. People who want to start can expect a straightforward intake and a plan that targets what matters most to them.
Approaches that guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose the next steps that feel right for them. This approach supports work on anxiety, relationships, and life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT can be useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood concerns because it emphasizes short-term strategies and measurable changes. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then shape sessions to fit those needs. That collaborative conversation helps decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, longer-term psychodynamic exploration, or a mix of methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video or phone sessions can save travel time, allow evening or weekend scheduling, and make it simpler to maintain continuity during work or caregiving changes.
