About Mayra
Mayra Dominguez uses a client-centered approach to guide people through hard moments. She is a licensed clinical social worker with 26 years of experience practicing in Florida. Mayra aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or career concerns in plain language.
She combines practical tools with attention to the person’s values and goals. That can mean looking at thoughts and behaviors, practicing mindfulness, or strengthening emotional bonds.
Background and approach
Mayra also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to them. Her work covers many everyday struggles: low self-esteem, sleep problems, anger, caregiving stress, relationship and communication problems, and life transitions. She also supports people facing chronic illness, body image worries, or recovery from drug and alcohol problems.
Treatment plans are tailored to the issue and the person’s pace. Mayra works in both English and Spanish. She blends warmth with clear guidance, offering coaching-style help when appropriate.
Practical skill-building, steady support through grief or change, and improving how someone talks with others are common focuses in her sessions. People start by identifying one or two immediate goals. From there she helps set small steps and tracks progress over time.
Mayra’s long experience gives her many options to try, and she aims to help people find what fits their life and values.
Approach-focused care delivered online
Mayra often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes that feel overwhelming.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often suited to sleep problems, low mood, and worry.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then try methods that fit. Plans are adjusted as needed so the work stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for a deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and messaging allow shorter, frequent contact and fit busy schedules or those who prefer writing.
