About Hayley
Hayley Mauro is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues around motivation and confidence. She also lists support for LGBT concerns, relationship and family stress, eating concerns, parenting strain, ADHD, and other life transitions.
Hayley uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also works with Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help manage strong emotions and increase everyday coping tools.
In practical terms she focuses on clear goals and step-by-step strategies. Sessions include learning specific skills, trying small behavior changes between meetings, and checking what works. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused elements guide short-term planning and boosts for moving forward.
Her background includes work across settings that served children, youth, and families during her career, and that experience informs how she approaches family and parenting concerns with individual clients. Hayley aims to make therapy a place where people can talk honestly about what’s hard and try things that make life more manageable.

How Hayley uses CBT, DBT, and mindfulness online
Hayley often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new, more useful ways of thinking and acting. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills are concrete strategies for managing intense feelings and reducing reactive behaviors. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to increase present-moment awareness and reduce rumination.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Hayley will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts strategies based on what helps. The early sessions typically focus on clear goals and a simple plan to try between meetings.
