Mayra Cano, Clinical Director, LPC – Supervisor
Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor | San Antonio, Texas
Helping You Find Balance, Healing, and Personal Growth
Life can be overwhelming, especially when you're navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, or significant life changes. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone.
I'm Mayra Cano, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor and owner of Vitality Life Counseling of San Antonio. With over 10 years of counseling experience, I am passionate about helping individuals recognize their strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.
My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and individualized. I believe that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is an essential part of the counseling process. My goal is to create a comfortable, supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered.
My Areas of Focus
I primarily work with adults, older adolescents, and women experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.
I also have experience supporting individuals with mood and personality disorders, anger management, school-related concerns, and challenges involving self-esteem, emotional regulation, and coping skills.
I recognize that our relationships, family experiences, and personal histories can influence how we view ourselves and navigate the world. When appropriate, I consider these important connections as part of understanding each client's individual needs.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe therapy should be tailored to the person, not the other way around. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Written Exposure Therapy, mindfulness, and somatic-informed techniques.
Together, we can explore unhelpful thinking patterns, strengthen emotional awareness, develop practical coping skills, and identify new ways to respond to life's challenges.
My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that individuals possess unique strengths and capabilities that can support their growth.
Education & Professional Background
I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor in Texas and also have experience conducting immigration evaluations.

Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, or a challenging life transition, I welcome the opportunity to help you explore your goals.
