About Maya
Maya Maclin is an Illinois-licensed therapist with 12 years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, family concerns, intimacy-related issues, parenting difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She blends practical strategies with attentive listening to support clients in identifying patterns, building coping skills, and taking concrete steps toward healthier daily functioning. Her orientation is grounded in evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person's perspective.
Maya aims to create an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and emotions can be explored and understood. She frames therapy as a collaborative process, offering encouragement and practical tools while respecting each client’s pace and priorities.
Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, Maya focuses on empowering clients to set meaningful goals and practice new skills between sessions. Availability is arranged through an initial matching and scheduling process, and she offers multiple remote session formats to accommodate different needs and routines.
Online approaches that balance practical skills and empathic support
Maya uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress. CBT sessions often include learning coping strategies, practicing behavioral experiments, and setting small, measurable goals to improve daily functioning.
She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and prioritizes the client’s perspective. This approach supports exploration of feelings and personal values, and can be especially helpful when people need space to process difficult experiences like relationship strain or trauma.
Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process; Maya works with clients to determine which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. This collaborative stance helps ensure interventions feel relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Maya is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. Remote options make it easier to maintain consistency in care, try techniques between sessions, and access support from familiar surroundings.
