About Mayra
Mayra Tovar is a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can be heard and begin to make changes. Mayra focuses on concerns such as trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and mood disorders.
She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication problems, and the strain of life transitions.
How Mayra works
Immigration-related stress and multicultural concerns are also part of her practice. Her approach emphasizes practical conversations and steady pacing. Mayra helps clients name patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit everyday life.
Sessions are direct but warm, with attention to individual needs and cultural context. Mayra holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and practices in Texas. She has three years of clinical experience and offers services in both English and Spanish.
Sessions are provided through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Therapy uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Mayra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach emphasizes working through trauma and abuse by helping people identify distressing memories and develop coping skills to reduce their impact on daily life. Another approach centers on mood and anxiety management, teaching pacing, breathing, and behavior steps that lower stress and lift mood over time.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match techniques to their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and set small, manageable steps toward clearer daily functioning.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when a person prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection between sessions, and flexibility for busy schedules.
