Background and approach
Lissette frames therapy as a partnership where goals are set together and progress is paced to the client’s needs. With more than two decades of experience, she has worked with a wide range of concerns related to family strain, parenting pressures, and career stress. She also addresses trauma, attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and issues such as guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
Her experience includes helping people navigate panic, mood disorders, and major life changes. Her clinical approach draws on several evidence-based therapies to match interventions to the problem at hand. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance-focused practices, and emotionally focused work that concentrates on feelings and relationships.
Dialectical skills are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. People who choose Lissette can expect clear, practical suggestions alongside empathetic listening. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging so clients can find a format that fits their schedule and communication style.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive each decision. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them, which can help with anxiety, low motivation, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's own goals and experience at the center. The therapist listens reflectively and helps build self-awareness and confidence, which can be especially useful for self-esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, often helping with mood, panic, and sleep problems.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. That way each plan is tailored and responsive to what is actually working for the client.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to stay connected between longer sessions or when typing out thoughts feels simpler. These choices help people fit therapy into busy schedules and different life demands.
