About Mayra
Mayra Martinez Gelabert is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor with 25 years of professional experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and depression. She aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful. Mayra creates a calm space where clients can speak honestly without fear of judgment.
She encourages people to notice small changes and builds on practical steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
In sessions Mayra listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She helps sort through worries, family tensions, and painful experiences so clients can decide what to change. Conversations focus on real problems and clear next steps rather than clinical labels.
She explains things plainly and uses approaches with research behind them to guide the work. Her practice often addresses related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, and challenges around forgiveness, guilt, or shame. Mayra also supports work on body image, impulsivity, feelings of isolation, life purpose, and money-related stress.
The goal is to reduce distress and improve how people handle everyday situations. Sessions are available through multiple online formats so people can pick what fits their routine. Mayra works collaboratively to adapt techniques to each person’s situation and comfort level.
She values steady progress and realistic goals that make life more manageable.
Approaches to online care and how they help
Mayra uses well-researched therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people learn specific skills to manage stress and anxiety, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes. These techniques are useful when worry or panic gets in the way of daily life.Another approach focuses on understanding patterns in relationships and attachment. This work looks at how past hurts or fears shape current reactions and communication. It can help people improve how they relate to family members and handle conflict with less escalation.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Mayra collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan when something isn’t helping, so the process stays collaborative and practical.
Online sessions provide flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people see facial cues and body language, phone sessions offer a simple option when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit help into daily routines and maintain continuity of care.
