How her approaches guide online sessions
Maya uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and responding to what each person brings. This approach helps identify priorities and keeps sessions focused on personal concerns rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to map and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and mood regulation by introducing practical exercises and thought records.
Mindfulness Therapy is offered to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple mindfulness practices are used to help manage stress and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Maya will work with the client to test methods and adjust based on goals, preferences, and what proves useful in real life. The approach can shift over time as needs change.
