About Mayra

Mayra Dominguez uses a practical, client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinical social worker who explains tools plainly and helps clients build routines that reduce overwhelm. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that people can try between meetings.

Mayra speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida, bringing 26 years of experience to each conversation. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Background and approach

She pairs evidence-based strategies with an emphasis on personal values and everyday coping skills. That combination is useful for concerns like sleep problems, grief, anger, addiction, and relationship or family stress. Mayra also addresses issues such as caregiver strain, blended family dynamics, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, and chronic illness challenges.

She helps clients identify what matters most and then tests practical changes that align with those priorities. Communication and problem-solving skills are common focuses in sessions. With a long career in the field, Mayra brings straightforward guidance rather than jargon.

She supports clients in pacing change and tracking progress. Practical tools, short exercises, and clear discussion make therapy feel focused and achievable. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Sessions can take place through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and subscription details vary with location and therapist availability.

Practical approaches for online therapy and work at home

Mayra commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, more useful ways of responding to stress and mood problems.

She treats online therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits the person's life and preferences. The plan can change over time as progress is tracked and challenges shift.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make the work more flexible. These formats let people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and make it easier to practice strategies in the settings where problems occur. Using a mix of session types can help maintain momentum between meetings and provide quick check-ins when helpful.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
