About Mayra
Mayra Martinez Gelabert is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of professional experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers steady support for common struggles like depression, trauma and abuse, family conflict, and compassion fatigue. Mayra aims to make first steps easier for someone who feels worried about reaching out.
In sessions she focuses on creating an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
She listens first and helps clients name what feels most urgent. Then she and the client work together to set practical goals and small steps forward. Her approach is down-to-earth and collaborative.
She emphasizes clear communication and practical strategies that fit a person’s day-to-day life. For parents or caregivers feeling overwhelmed, she pays attention to caregiver stress and the everyday demands that make coping harder. Mayra also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, and issues around body image and self-worth.
She guides people through relationship problems, separation and divorce challenges, and navigating midlife transitions. With many years of practice, she brings steady experience to appointments while keeping conversations simple and focused. Those new to therapy can expect patient guidance on what to try first and how to measure small changes over time.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
Approaches and what online therapy offers
Mayra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on helping people manage symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach involves teaching practical coping strategies to reduce anxiety and stress, such as breathing exercises, activity planning, and breaking problems into manageable steps. These techniques help when worry or overwhelm get in the way of daily life.Another routine focus is addressing trauma-related reactions by gently processing painful memories and strengthening current coping abilities. This work aims to reduce the intensity of symptoms and improve everyday functioning after difficult experiences.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Mayra will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before, then adapt methods to fit those needs. Together they adjust pace and focus as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people keep face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions require less bandwidth and let someone check in when needed, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or midweek support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
