About Lourdes

Lourdes Mayes is a bilingual English-Spanish licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California with more than 21 years of experience in the mental health field. She has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, anger and stress management, parenting challenges, and relationship or couples issues.

In her practice she aims to create a non-judgmental, comfortable environment where clients and therapist collaborate to explore the factors contributing to difficult feelings and patterns. Treatment focuses on identifying root causes and developing practical strategies to improve communication, build empathy and respect, enhance problem-solving and conflict resolution abilities, and strengthen connection and intimacy.

Lourdes emphasizes self-discovery and supports clients in recognizing changes they can make to move forward. Her approach blends insight with skills training so clients can address immediate concerns while working toward longer term well-being. She accepts international clients and provides services in both English and Spanish, and she looks forward to partnering with individuals who are ready to engage in the therapeutic process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and learn to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with personal values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses - it can be especially helpful for attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and family or couple difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and unconditional positive regard so clients can explore their experiences at their own pace and build self-awareness; this approach supports growth around self-esteem, communication, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Lourdes works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals tailor interventions over time so therapy remains aligned with each person’s evolving priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and therapists can also meet through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support during life transitions.
