How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Maya uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on each person's experience. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client's pace to identify what matters most. It can help people clarify goals and feel heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. This method is practical for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and many daily struggles.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple exercises to regulate strong emotions and reduce reactivity. These practices can support sleep, anger management, and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maya collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts pace, tools, and homework based on what feels useful and sustainable.

Online therapy arrangements vary. Ask about the session options and scheduling details before booking, and explain what you need to participate comfortably. Agreeing on practical details can help you decide whether the proposed way of working fits your routine and preferences.
