Background and approach

In sessions she takes a client-centered, strengths-based approach. That means conversations focus on each person’s needs and values. She listens carefully, asks questions to clarify goals, and helps people try out small changes that fit their lives.

Her work often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns, and mindfulness to slow down strong reactions. Motivational interviewing is used when clients want help building motivation for change.

Mayra aims for a nonjudgmental and respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences and plan practical steps forward. She avoids stigmatizing labels and adapts goals to each person. If someone prefers Spanish or Portuguese, she can hold sessions in those languages.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current patterns. In online sessions this helps people notice repeated dynamics in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits for mood, anxiety, and ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to identify goals and test which methods feel useful. Treatment can be adjusted over time based on what the client finds most helpful and practical.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or if someone prefers no video. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style exchanges, or when a shorter written check-in fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines and still use the same therapeutic approaches.
