About Maya
Maya Daley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, work through family-related concerns, and build stronger self-esteem. Maya also supports clients facing career transitions and major life changes.
Maya brings three years of post-licensure experience as an LMFT to her practice. Before earning her license she worked in mental health roles where she supported people with mood concerns, substance-related issues, and anxiety.
How Maya works
That background shapes a practical, goal-focused style in sessions. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Maya talks through coping skills for panic and anxiety, and helps clients untangle feelings of guilt, shame, and control.
She also addresses attachment questions and body image in straightforward terms. Maya frames therapy around each person’s goals and values. Conversations are collaborative and aim to build self-love, purpose, and realistic action plans.
She draws on her lived experience as a first-generation American to understand cultural pressures that affect mental health. Work can include short-term plans for immediate relief or longer-term goals for sustained change. Maya offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works with the therapist’s availability.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Maya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes learning coping skills for panic and anxiety, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce acute symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another approach centers on attachment-aware work, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and change repeating cycles that affect trust and closeness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Maya works with each person to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the specific concerns they bring. Together they try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan as needed to stay focused on meaningful progress.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy into work days, parenting schedules, or a busy life while keeping the focus on effective, evidence-based care.
