About Maya
Maya Neal is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in South Carolina with 16 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, depression, grief, and related challenges. Maya also lists work with LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar, and ADHD.
She takes a straightforward, goal-oriented approach in sessions. Maya listens and helps people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior. She offers practical skills for managing emotions and coping with life changes. Sessions include time for problem-solving and skill practice rather than long abstract talk.
Maya uses client-centered methods to focus on each person’s perspectives. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavioral experiments. Mindfulness-based practices are offered to help reduce stress and improve focus.
People who reach out often want help with family or parenting stress, communication problems, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, or caregiving burdens. Maya also notes work around abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, chronic illness, and codependency.
She accepts English-speaking clients and works with people in South Carolina. International clients are also accepted. Session billing varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work
How Maya’s approaches translate to online work
Maya uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s concerns and values. That approach means sessions begin with the person’s priorities and proceed at their pace, with the therapist listening and reflecting back what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral changes; online sessions can include setting short experiments and reviewing results together.Mindfulness practices are offered to reduce stress and improve attention. These are taught in short exercises that can be practiced between sessions to support mood and sleep. Maya treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will help people decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts what she uses as needs and priorities become clearer.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home life and to schedule shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. It can also reduce travel time and help people continue regular sessions during periods of change, while the therapist and client decide together what scheduling and session length work best.
