About Mayra
Mayra Martinez Gelabert is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 25 years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns such as compassion fatigue and guilt and shame. She offers direct, plainspoken support for people who are unsure how to move forward.
Her approach focuses on conversation and practical steps. She listens to what feels most pressing, then helps people name their feelings and consider options. Sessions are meant to be a place to talk honestly about hard things without judgement.
Mayra helps clients look at patterns that keep them stuck. That can mean talking about attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, or impulses that lead to regret. She also works with issues around body image, caregiver stress, money worries, and isolation.
She pays attention to the effects of trauma and offers steady, evidence-informed care for mood and anxiety concerns. Forgiveness and guilt are addressed in ways that examine both feelings and behavior. The work aims to help a person make clearer choices about what comes next.
Practical matters such as scheduling and next steps are handled up front. Mayra asks about the specific problem, the person's goals, and any immediate needs. That helps shape the focus of early sessions and keeps the work grounded in everyday life.
Evidence-based approaches and working online
Mayra works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach involves talking through thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that maintain anxiety, depression, or guilt; this helps people see where small shifts could make daily life easier. Another approach looks at the impacts of trauma and attachment - it uses careful conversation to help reduce reactivity and build clearer ways of relating to others.Figuring out the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That collaborative decision-making happens early and evolves as progress is made.
