About Maya
Maya Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem. She also supports people facing relationship strain, career stress, and depression. Her tone is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping worried parents and busy adults find manageable steps forward.
Maya uses practical activities and expressive tools in sessions to help people name feelings and try small changes. She offers video, phone, chat, and text options so sessions can fit different schedules and comfort levels.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on skills people can use between appointments. Her work often centers on attachment and relationship patterns, including issues like abandonment, codependency, jealousy, and blended family challenges. She helps people notice patterns that repeat and practices new ways of reacting and communicating.
That can look like role play, guided reflection, or short behavioral experiments to try at home. Maya also helps with body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and the emotional effects of domestic violence. She includes creative tools such as sand tray methods and expressive activities when those feel helpful for deeper self-exploration.
She frames those tools as options to access feelings that are hard to name. With six years of experience and an Indiana LMHC license, Maya focuses on steady progress rather than quick fixes. She meets people where they are and works at a pace that feels manageable.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step connect someone to the first appointment.
How therapeutic methods meet online care
Evidence-based techniques like exposure and response prevention focus on gradual, guided practice. This approach helps people face feared situations in small steps while learning strategies to reduce avoidance and anxiety. It is often used for worries and anxiety-related behaviors.Expressive and sand tray approaches invite people to use imagery and creative play to name emotions that are hard to talk about. These methods can help when words feel stuck and when exploring past relationships or attachment patterns feels important.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that match their needs. If something does not fit, adjustments are made together so therapy stays useful and manageable.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation while fitting into a lunch break or after-school routine. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work when being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use short, focused support when time is limited. These options make it easier to maintain steady work on stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns without reshuffling a whole day.
