About Maya

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 3 years of experience, Maya Daley focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem, career questions, and coping with life changes. She speaks English and works with adults seeking practical ways to manage mood and panic symptoms, improve relationships, and clarify life purpose.

Maya describes her clinical work as using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address everyday struggles. Sessions focus on concrete skills - reducing panic attacks, managing anxiety, and building self-love - alongside conversations about attachment, body image, control issues, guilt, and shame. She frames therapy as a place to learn tools and practice new ways of responding to stress.

Before holding the LMFT credential, she spent years as a mental health clinician serving disabled veterans and people with substance use and psychological disorders. That experience shaped her attention to crisis management, mood disorder work, and practical coping strategies. She also has experience working with youth experiencing anxiety and depression.

Her background as a first-generation American informs how she thinks about cultural pressures and life expectations. She talks with clients about how social forces affect goals, identity, and wellbeing. Maya emphasizes measurable change - clearer goals, fewer panic episodes, steadier mood - rather than abstract talk.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Cost varies by location and sessions are provided through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches used in online sessions and what they do

In her description Maya emphasizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That phrase suggests a focus on practical, research-supported methods that teach skills people can use outside sessions.

One common approach involves exposure and skills training to reduce panic and panic attacks. This work uses gradual practice of feared sensations and coping strategies to lower intensity and frequency of panic. It is often used for panic disorder and severe anxiety symptoms.

Another typical approach focuses on mood regulation and interpersonal patterns linked to attachment. This method helps people notice unhelpful relationship patterns, practice new ways of relating, and manage low mood or shame. It supports concerns like attachment issues, guilt, and self-esteem struggles.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try techniques that fit those needs. Adjustments are expected as therapy progresses to find what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without being on camera or with lower bandwidth for people who prefer that.
