About Telisa
Telisa uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build committed action. She also incorporates attachment-focused ideas to address relational wounds and emotional patterns.
In sessions she listens closely and asks straightforward questions to create options rather than quick fixes. Clients work on skills for managing panic, reducing avoidance, and handling painful memories at a pace that fits them. She also helps people with self-esteem, body image, and the fallout from separation or loss.
With eight years of clinical experience, Telisa blends practical skill-building with conversations about meaning and purpose. Her background includes a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from South University. She keeps learning and adapts methods to each person’s goals.
People who choose her can expect focused, collaborative work aimed at clearer choices and stronger coping. Before starting, confirm current session formats and scheduling details to make sure they fit your needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction rather than just symptom relief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It often helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and problems that respond to structured practice and feedback.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences, and she will adjust plans as needs change. Clients are invited to try skills and reflect on what helps most.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commuting time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to continue consistent work through transitions and everyday demands while using the techniques and support discussed above.
