About Myra

Myra Estella Ann Alves uses a relational, attachment-informed approach to help people manage relationship and family challenges. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and she focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more connected and in control. Her tone is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at people who want clear support during change.

She works with common concerns like relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and big life transitions.

Background and approach

She also addresses attachment issues, communication breakdowns, control struggles, and the stress that follows separation or divorce. Sessions aim to identify patterns and try small, doable changes that add up over time. Her style is down-to-earth and client-centered.

That means she listens first, then helps shape goals you find meaningful. Cognitive behavior techniques and motivational interviewing are used to set realistic steps and keep momentum. Psychodynamic ideas about past patterns may be explored when helpful.

With nine years of experience, she brings steady support and practical tools rather than promises. People can expect clear conversation, homework when helpful, and a focus on building self-compassion and purpose. Myra explains options and helps clients decide what to try next.

Sessions are offered from Hawaii and conducted in English. She works through everyday problems in a way that aims to fit real schedules and family demands.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. Online sessions use conversation and exercises to notice those patterns and try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building goals chosen by the client. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers reflection, and supports decisions that feel right for the person.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new needs appear, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so work can fit into busy lives. Video calls let people read facial expressions and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, and keeping momentum between sessions.
