About Mayra
Mayra Beas is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She has eight years of direct experience in mental health. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and major life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable. She begins by listening closely to each person’s story. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be used between meetings.
Mayra uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety and low mood.
Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s values and priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy informs many meetings, so the work often emphasizes what is already working and small goals to build momentum. Mayra helps people break problems down into manageable pieces.
She teaches skills for coping with panic attacks, reducing anger, and improving communication in stressed relationships. The tone in sessions is collaborative rather than prescriptive. Clients can expect clear suggestions, guided practice, and check-ins on progress.
Mayra explains tools in plain language and helps adapt them to everyday life. Mayra holds a California LCSW license (CA LCSW 123835). She offers sessions in English by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s goals. The therapist follows the person’s lead and helps them clarify what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort through feelings and decide on priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online sessions use guided exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and practice different responses. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, panic attacks, and managing anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and choose techniques based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning can be adjusted as progress is tracked from session to session.
Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between meetings.
