About Mayra
Mayra Beas is a licensed clinical social worker in California with eight years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She focuses on practical support for depression, anger, panic attacks, and the strain that comes with big life changes.

Her approach centers on the client. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and listens first to understand priorities.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear tools and small steps that can ease distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Mayra uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also applies solution-focused methods to set concrete goals and track progress over short time frames.
Client-centered work shapes the tone of sessions so people feel heard and respected while they try new strategies. In practical terms she supports people dealing with relationship strain, communication problems, guilt and shame, and coping with life transitions. Panic disorder and panic attacks are also areas she addresses with targeted strategies.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The subscription model for sessions can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to therapist availability by selecting the Start Therapy button.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Mayra uses client-centered work to shape a respectful, listening-first approach where the person sets priorities and the therapist reflects understanding. This helps people feel heard and make choices that fit their life.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. CBT is useful for panic attacks, worry, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Solution-focused therapy is used for brief goal-setting and quick, practical changes that can be tracked from session to session.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try techniques, and adjust plans based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused on priorities.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video suits in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let people send updates or ask questions between longer conversations. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress moving forward.
