About Maya
Maya Johnson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with six years of clinical experience based in Indiana. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. She also addresses related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, body image, and feelings of emptiness.
Her sessions focus on practical ways to manage emotions and day-to-day problems. She uses expressive arts, sand tray work, and exposure and response prevention when those methods fit the person's goals. Conversations are straightforward and centered on learning coping skills and clearer communication.
Maya has worked with people affected by domestic violence and supports those processing trauma. She mentions guiding college students, adolescents, and adults through transitions and healing that links mind and body. Her background includes offering telehealth appointments by schedule for people in Tennessee, Michigan, and Indiana.
In sessions she helps clients build stronger boundaries and notice repeated patterns, such as people-pleasing or losing oneself in relationships. She combines hands-on techniques like expressive art with step-by-step behavioral approaches when appropriate. Expect practical tools to use between meetings.
Maya asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If unsure which approach will help, she works collaboratively to try options that fit the person's situation.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Maya uses expressive arts and sand tray approaches to help people explore emotions in nonverbal ways. With expressive arts, clients might bring drawings, objects, or creative exercises into sessions to clarify feelings and patterns. Sand tray work lets images and scenes surface what is hard to put into words and can guide focused conversations about relationships and inner experience.She also uses exposure and response prevention techniques to address anxiety-related behaviors. That approach breaks down situations that trigger avoidance and practices new responses, often in gradual, structured steps. It is useful for reducing avoidance, intrusive worries, and anxiety-driven routines.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to match techniques to the client's goals, comfort level, and progress. That may mean trying expressive tasks one week and a behavioral exercise the next, then adjusting based on what helps.

Online options can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from a workday. Licensed professionals can adapt expressive and exposure work for remote sessions when appropriate.
