About Maya
LMHC in Indiana with seven years of experience, Maya Bates helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, depression, family issues, trauma, and parenting challenges. She uses client-centered methods and often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to address day-to-day problems and longer standing patterns.
Maya listens and helps people talk through what feels overwhelming. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking about next moves. She works on immediate coping skills as well as patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her approach keeps conversations grounded and action oriented. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing supports people wrestling with change, especially around substance use and addictive patterns.
Solution-Focused Therapy guides short-term goals and quick, achievable shifts. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the conversation around each person’s priorities and pace. Together these methods help address things like family of origin issues, codependency, divorce and separation, narcissism, and personality-related concerns.
Maya’s background is in clinical mental health counseling and she holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, confirm current session options and formats to match your needs.

How Maya uses common therapy methods in remote sessions
Maya often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows what matters most to the person and the therapist reflects and clarifies concerns so the client can decide next steps. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to support people ready to change, especially for drug or alcohol addiction. That approach focuses on exploring ambivalence and strengthening motivation through short, targeted conversations. Choosing the right mix of methods is collaborative; the therapist and client review what works and adapt as needs and goals evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or reduce the need to travel for an appointment. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use remote sessions to maintain consistency while working on coping skills, behavior experiments, and stepwise goals.
