About Maya
Maya Haraseyko is a licensed clinician in Massachusetts with 20 years of professional experience. She holds MA LMHC and MA LICSW credentials. Maya treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping them take steps toward change.
She focuses on practical, personalized care. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Maya emphasizes clear conversation so clients understand next steps and feel empowered to try them.
Maya works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also gives attention to attachment issues, obsessions and compulsions including OCD, panic disorder and panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her approach is collaborative. She invites people to talk about what they want to change and helps set realistic goals. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and life circumstances evolve.
Sessions tend to focus on skills, straightforward problem solving, and practicing new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Maya encourages small, practical steps that build confidence over time.
Approaches that help with anxiety and panic
Many evidence-based techniques aim to reduce distress and teach coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence to change anxious thinking and behavior. This method can be useful for social anxiety, panic attacks, and persistent worry.Another useful approach emphasizes practicing specific skills to manage symptoms. That can include breathing and grounding practices, gradual exposure to feared situations, and step-by-step behavior changes to increase confidence. These techniques are often helpful for panic, obsessions and compulsions, and phobic fears.
Finding the right blend of methods is part of therapy. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process that may change over time as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session would be hard to schedule. It also lets people continue work during life changes while keeping a steady routine of appointments with a licensed professional.
