About Hayley

Hayley Mauro is a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, self-esteem, motivation, and ADHD.

Background and approach

Drawing on work across settings with children, youth, and families, she blends practical skills with empathic listening to help clients gain clearer perspective and build strengths. Her practice emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and evidence-informed techniques that emphasize coping skills, emotion regulation, and problem solving.

Hayley uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs. Clients can expect a warm, nonjudgmental atmosphere where feelings and concerns are explored openly while concrete tools are introduced to support day-to-day functioning.

Hayley aims to support people through life transitions, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, and complications related to adoption, aging, serious illness, or bereavement. She accepts clients in California and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence while teaching practical skills to change patterns of thinking and behavior; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle self-observation to reduce reactivity and support coping with grief, trauma, and chronic stress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to clarify goals, try techniques, and adjust strategies based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. Over time this collaborative work shapes a personalized plan that blends practical tools and reflective practices.

Online therapy with Hayley is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, combine brief check-ins with longer conversations, and continue skill practice between meetings, which helps integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
