About Maya
Maya Haraseyko is a licensed mental health counselor and social worker practicing in Massachusetts. She brings 20 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical, person-centered care. Maya aims to meet people where they are and help them take the first steps toward change.
She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She also helps people cope with life changes and addresses concerns like attachment issues, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Maya uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. She listens for what matters most and then suggests concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Expect a mix of problem-solving, emotional support, and gradual skill-building tailored to daily life. Her background includes two master’s level credentials: MA LMHC and MA LICSW, which reflect training in counseling and clinical social work. Those credentials inform a broad clinical perspective developed over two decades of practice in Massachusetts.
People who prefer a calm, respectful approach tend to fit well with her style. Maya emphasizes encouragement and realistic steps rather than quick fixes. She works with clients to set manageable goals and track small improvements over time.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Maya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and real-life change. One common approach she draws on emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. This helps people break cycles of worry and avoidance and build more flexible responses.Another frequently used focus targets strong emotions and daily coping skills. This approach teaches grounding, breathing, and stepwise exposure to feared situations so panic, OCD symptoms, or social anxiety feel more manageable over time. It also supports steady routines for mood stability when bipolar disorder or depression are concerns.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a team effort. Maya works with each person to understand goals, preferences, and what has worked before. Together they try approaches, review what helps, and adjust plans so care fits everyday life.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines.
