She takes a client-centered approach that puts the person and their strengths first. Sessions are guided by what the individual needs, and she avoids labels that feel stigmatizing.
Background and approach
Mayra blends evidence-informed ideas like cognitive behavioral techniques with a focus on attachment and motivation to help people move forward. Her work includes support around LGBTQ concerns, gender dysphoria, family of origin issues, and challenges tied to caregiving, aging, or blended families. She has also helped people coping with grief, trauma, anger, and identity questions.
She does not list specialty training in OCD, autism, sexual dysfunctions, borderline personality disorder, or neurocognitive disorders. In sessions she aims to be direct, respectful, and culturally aware. People can expect conversation that names patterns, tries small experiments, and builds on existing strengths.
Goals are practical and agreed on together. Mayra offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling step match people to therapists and set the first appointment.

Online support
Approaches that translate well to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current feelings. It can help people notice repeating relationship habits and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to build trust and individual insight. This approach helps people feel heard and guides them to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, explain options, and adjust methods as work progresses. Together they decide what feels most useful and track small changes over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper interaction feels helpful. Phone sessions use less data and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life while using the approaches described above.
