About Mayra
Mayra Vega is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 15 years working in mental health. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, relationship strain, stress, and life transitions. She also focuses on LGBT concerns and family of origin issues.
Vega has worked with people dealing with trauma, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Her experience includes supporting clients affected by homelessness and immigration-related stress. She draws on a range of approaches so sessions address practical problems as well as personal history.
Her style is client-centered and grounded in attachment ideas. That means she pays attention to how early family roles and expectations shape current relationships. Sessions tend to include talk, reflection, and skills to change patterns that keep repeating.
Vega uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. She also brings mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing to help people notice what matters and take manageable steps forward.
She speaks English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and has worked with people across many cultural backgrounds. People considering therapy are encouraged to consider how family patterns show up in their life and what practical changes they want to try.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people see how roles and expectations from family of origin affect closeness and conflict. This approach is useful when emotional patterns repeat in adult relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness of feelings and urges. These exercises can support coping with strong emotions and improve focus during difficult moments.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That process may include trying techniques from different methods and adjusting what is used over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as session formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or caregiving. Discuss logistics with the therapist when scheduling to plan sessions that suit daily life.
