About Mayra

Mayra Vega is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 15 years of experience supporting people through a broad range of mental health challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on clinical skills developed across work with depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, bipolar disorder, and life transitions, and she lists ADHD among her focus areas. Mayra also brings attention to issues that intersect with identity and social context, including LGBT-related concerns, gender dysphoria, immigration and homelessness, and HIV/AIDS.

Her therapeutic stance is client-centered and strengths-based, prioritizing respect, sensitivity, and cultural awareness. She adapts techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based work, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches to fit each person’s goals rather than applying a single method rigidly.

Mayra emphasizes collaboration in setting objectives and seeks to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space for exploration. Sessions are offered in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to accommodate diverse language needs.

Approaches in online care and how they help

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of connection and trust formed in relationships, helping people explore how early bonds influence current behavior and emotional responses. It can be useful for addressing relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and problems rooted in family of origin dynamics.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical, goal-oriented techniques. It is often applied for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes to produce measurable skills for day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and then mix methods such as attachment work, CBT, or motivational interviewing to create a tailored plan that evolves over time.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care when travel or relocation occurs, and enable ongoing contact between sessions when helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver talk-based interventions, skills practice, and reflective work effectively in a remote setting.
