About Maya
Maya Daley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people cope with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Maya aims to be an advocate for positive change and supports people who want clearer direction and more balance in their lives.
She draws on years of clinical work with diverse populations, including time as a mental health clinician supporting veterans and people with substance use concerns. Maya also has experience working with young people facing anxiety and depression. That background shapes her practical approach in sessions.
In therapy she helps people name what feels overwhelming and build step-by-step ways to manage it. She works on daily coping skills, improving self-esteem, and sorting out career and life-purpose questions. Maya also addresses attachment concerns, body image, guilt and shame, and mood-related struggles.
Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas, and she offers calm, steady support for people dealing with sudden anxiety or fear. Her style is collaborative and direct - she helps people test what works and adjust plans as needed.
Her goal is to help people move toward more ease and meaning in life. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Maya lists evidence-based therapeutic techniques as her clinical approach. Two common evidence-based techniques she uses are cognitive-based strategies and skills training. Cognitive-based strategies help people notice and reframe unhelpful thoughts that feed anxiety and panic. Skills training focuses on practical tools like breathing methods, grounding exercises, and stepwise exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to identify goals and then tries methods that fit those goals and preferences. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques if something isn’t helping.
