About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza is a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, low in confidence, or struggling with parenting, relationships, and life transitions.
She focuses on practical conversations. Sessions look at what is making daily life harder and which coping skills might help. Lissette uses clear tools to manage stress, sleep problems, panic, and mood concerns rather than long theory talks.
Her approach blends several therapy methods in straightforward ways. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings and choose actions that match their values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Lissette also draws on client-centered and emotionally-focused ideas to keep sessions focused on each person’s experience. She speaks English and Spanish, and works with people who are coping with trauma, caregiver stress, codependency patterns, abandonment and attachment issues, and career or midlife concerns.
Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that fit their values. This approach can help when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty block everyday choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like panic, insomnia, or low mood. It includes practical exercises and homework aimed at clear day-to-day improvements.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes skills for regulating intense emotion, tolerating distress, and improving communication. These tools are useful when strong reactions or frequent crises make life harder.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and preferences and adjusts them over time. That conversation usually happens in the first few sessions.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the specific online options before booking. Online work can fit into busy schedules by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when audio is enough. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people balance therapy with everyday life.
