Tisela Viera, LCSW

Tisela Viera is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She helps people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and the long-term effects of trauma and abuse. Her style is calm and direct, aimed at helping people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

She draws on ten years of experience supporting people through life changes, chronic pain, illness, loss, and ongoing health challenges. Sessions focus on building everyday coping skills, clarifying values, and restoring a sense of purpose. Tisela uses familiar, straightforward tools so people can try new strategies between appointments.

Her work combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with cognitive-behavioral ideas and client-centered listening. She also uses narrative techniques and motivational interviewing to help people reframe difficult stories and find motivation for change. This mix helps address symptoms and the personal meaning behind them.

Tisela creates an open, non-judgmental space where clients can speak honestly about guilt, shame, control issues, family of origin concerns, and multicultural challenges. She supports people coping with cancer, chronic illness, and related financial or life-planning stressors. Conversations often include practical problem solving alongside emotional processing.

If you prefer English or Spanish, she offers sessions in both languages. To begin, follow the site process to match with her and schedule a first appointment.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It is often useful for ongoing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and coping with health challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people can explore their own goals and values at their own pace.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Tisela will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit those goals and personal preferences. That process may combine elements of ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening to address symptoms and daily life needs.

Confirm the specific session options available before booking, since formats are set by the therapist. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work, medical care, or caregiving duties. They can also accommodate shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time so therapy fits into a busy week.
