How Maya’s approaches translate to online therapy

Maya draws on client-centered work to create a listening, nonjudgmental space where clients lead the conversation and priorities shape the plan. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they most want to change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. CBT is often useful for depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and stress because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions to practical steps.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to strengthen awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple breathing or attention exercises can help with anger, rumination, and sleeplessness by building short, usable skills clients can practice daily.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maya works with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. She explains options and helps clients try techniques to see what fits best.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require them. Discuss format and scheduling during the matching process to find a plan that meets practical needs and supports steady progress.
