About MAIDA

Maida Ferraes is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT) who has been working in the counseling field since 2017, bringing seven years of clinical experience to her practice. She has provided individual and group therapy across in-office, residential, and outpatient settings, supporting people with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship and parenting concerns, teen issues, and a wide range of challenges including grief and loss, insomnia, addiction, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, adjustment struggles, and crisis intervention.

Her work also encompasses personal growth and life transitions, helping clients navigate changes and develop practical coping skills. Maida draws from established therapeutic methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. She is known for an energetic and compassionate approach, combining patience with a grounded, levelheaded presence.

Maida believes effective therapy requires both clinical knowledge and strong interpersonal skills. She emphasizes attentive, individualized care and approaches each client with understanding and empathy, aiming to create a supportive environment where people can explore challenges, build resilience, and work toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, or insomnia. CBT is focused and goal-oriented, offering concrete strategies for changing patterns that interfere with daily life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance and change techniques to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and impulse-related difficulties.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that supports motivation for change by exploring ambivalence and encouraging personal goals, often used with addiction, lifestyle changes, or when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maida works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Maida includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access timely support, and fit therapy into everyday life while working with a licensed professional who can guide the treatment process.
