About Lourdes

Lourdes Mayes is a bilingual English and Spanish Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 21 years of experience in the mental health field in California. As an LCSW - which stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker and indicates advanced clinical training in social work - she has worked with a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, anger and stress management, parenting challenges, and couple relationship issues.

Lourdes creates a calm, nonjudgmental environment where clients and therapist collaborate to understand the factors contributing to emotional pain and unhelpful patterns. Her work focuses on practical strategies that address root causes, strengthen communication, and build empathy and respect between people. She helps clients develop effective problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills while supporting deeper connection and intimacy when desired.

Through guided exploration and skill building, Lourdes supports people as they discover meaningful changes that can move their lives forward. She brings long experience and a gentle, respectful approach to each therapeutic relationship, guiding clients toward clearer insight and sustainable progress.

Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Lourdes integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking steps toward those values - a useful approach for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, helping people improve intimacy, trust, and relationship dynamics. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more effective patterns, which can reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lourdes works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that therapy aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Lourdes is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from varied locations while maintaining continuity of care and the ability to choose the format that works best for each individual.
