About Maya
Maya Daley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She brings a straightforward, compassionate approach to therapy and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and career or life transitions.
She has practical experience working with people who struggle with mood challenges, panic attacks, and issues around attachment and self-love. Her background includes clinical work with veterans and people facing substance use concerns, and she has spent several years supporting youth with anxiety and depression.
As a first-generation American, she pays attention to how cultural and societal pressures affect mental health. That perspective often shapes conversations about life purpose, body image, guilt, and control issues. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on what feels useful day to day.
Maya aims to be an advocate for positive change and to help people move toward more satisfying routines and relationships. She describes therapy as a space to talk through priorities, try new coping strategies, and build stronger self-regard.

How therapeutic techniques translate to online care
Maya draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach helps people learn coping strategies for anxiety and panic attacks by teaching breathing, emotion regulation, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. Another approach centers on improving self-esteem and attachment patterns through structured conversations that identify negative self-beliefs and practice new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to identify priorities, try methods that fit their life, and adjust strategies based on what is or isn’t helping. This joint problem-solving helps shape a plan that matches personal goals and preferences.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people attend from a quieter environment or pick a meeting style that suits their energy level. Licensed professionals can help you decide which approach and session format will best support your needs.
