About Lourdes

Lourdes Mayes is a bilingual licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California. She brings 21 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and relationship concerns. Lourdes speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions clear and approachable for anyone who reaches out.

She centers her work on attachment-based ideas, helping people understand how early relationships shape present patterns. That perspective gets paired with practical tools from acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches to address mood, worry, and coping behaviors.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on spotting unhelpful patterns and trying small changes between meetings. Lourdes uses client-centered listening to create a calm, nonjudgmental space. She works with people on communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust or intimacy where it has eroded.

She also helps with addiction concerns, anger, and recovery from trauma or abuse by breaking problems into step-by-step goals. In practical terms she teaches skills for emotion regulation, problem solving, and managing cravings or urges. Therapy can include coaching-style work around life transitions, parenting strain, or career stress.

She aims to help people make choices that match their values and move toward a more satisfying daily life. Her approach balances empathy and clear strategies. If someone wants to work through relationship patterns, process a loss, or manage persistent anxiety, she offers a steady, experienced presence and concrete steps for change.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds show up today; online sessions let people talk through these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and then choose actions that match their values, which can be practiced between remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior, such as skills for managing anxiety, depressive thinking, or urges related to addiction.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust over time based on what actually helps.

Online formats offer flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when screen time is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice skills in real life while still getting guidance from a licensed professional.
