About Maya
Maya Johnson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. She writes plainly and meets people where they are. Her approach aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for busy parents and adults.
She works with common life concerns like feeling stuck, coping with change, and handling intense emotions. Maya offers strategies to reduce anxiety and lift mood.
Background and approach
She also supports people dealing with relationship patterns, communication problems, and challenges tied to attachment or abandonment. In practice she uses expressive tools alongside more focused treatments to help people explore feelings and build new habits. That can mean hands-on activities like sand tray work or guided exercises that surface thoughts and patterns.
She also uses exposure and response prevention for people whose anxiety shows up as avoidance or repetitive behaviors. Maya provides telehealth appointments for people in Indiana and nearby states. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.
She aims to create straightforward plans with clear steps to try between sessions. She has six years of experience as a licensed professional and holds an Indiana LMHC credential. The first meetings focus on identifying immediate concerns, setting goals, and picking practical tools to try at home.
If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.
Online approaches and flexible session options
Expressive therapies such as sand tray work give a visual, hands-on way to name feelings and relationships; this can help people who find talking alone feels incomplete. Exposure and response prevention is used to reduce avoidance and repetitive behaviors by practicing gradual, supported steps toward feared situations and changing the reactions that follow.Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time based on what helps most. That means clients help shape which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises, phone calls are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options allow sessions to fit work schedules, school breaks, and busy family life while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
