About Maya

Maya Daley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with three years of post-licensure experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, career questions, self-esteem concerns, and coping with life changes. Maya also addresses attachment issues, body image, control struggles, guilt and shame, mood concerns, panic attacks, and questions about life purpose.

She takes a straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical steps that can help someone feel steadier. Maya listens for patterns in relationships, thinking, and behavior that keep problems stuck, then tries out small changes to shift those patterns.

Her earlier work included mental health roles with veterans and people with substance use challenges, and with youth experiencing anxiety and depression. That background informs how she notices trauma, stress responses, and the ways daily routines affect mood and functioning. Maya draws on what has helped others in similar situations while keeping each person’s priorities front and center.

People who come with career uncertainty or life transitions can expect help clarifying values, identifying obstacles, and testing new choices in manageable steps. For those anxious about panic or mood shifts, sessions include practical coping ideas to reduce intensity and regain control.

Evidence-based approaches and online care

Maya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. One common approach she relies on involves identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative thoughts and behaviors. This kind of work can help with anxiety, mood shifts, and improving day-to-day functioning.

She also focuses on relationship and attachment patterns, looking at how past and current relationships influence feelings and reactions. Addressing these patterns can help reduce repeated conflicts and improve emotional regulation. For panic and intense anxiety, she uses practical coping strategies to reduce symptoms and increase a person's sense of control.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Maya collaborates with clients to figure out which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Progress is reviewed and methods are adjusted as needed so the work stays relevant to what the client wants.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce time spent traveling to appointments. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency while working on their goals.
