Hayley Mauro, LCSW

Hayley Mauro is a California-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with seven years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and issues around sexuality and identity. She also addresses parenting concerns, eating issues, ADHD, and challenges tied to major life changes.

Hayley focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. She blends methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to address unhelpful thoughts and build everyday coping skills. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques when someone needs support with intense emotions or finding motivation for change.

Her background includes work with children, youth, and individuals connected to adoption and foster care, hospice and end-of-life situations, and cancer-related stress. That experience informs how she frames conversations about family problems, aging, and young adult transitions. Sessions tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented, with clear strategies to try at home.

Hayley aims for a direct, nonjudgmental approach that helps people talk through what is most pressing. She tends to focus on skills people can practice, short-term problem solving, and tracking small changes. The practical focus is useful for parents juggling work and family pressures, people facing grief or loss, and anyone handling ongoing anxiety.

She works in English and holds her LCSW in California. Before booking, confirm current session options so they fit your schedule and circumstances.
