How Mayra’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current connections and reactions. It helps people understand patterns in intimacy, communication, and caregiving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It offers clear tools and short exercises to practice between appointments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mayra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for everyday life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving, or travel. Others appreciate that focused CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversations, or mindfulness practices can be carried out effectively in remote sessions when scheduled at a convenient time.
