Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Mayra Vega draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps when people struggle with trust, intimacy, or repeating relational dynamics. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where the client's goals and pace lead the work, which supports self-exploration and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is also part of her practice, offering practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mayra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting plans over time as progress and circumstances evolve.
