About Lissette

She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on common life stresses like anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and issues around self-esteem and motivation.

She focuses on practical conversation and steady problem-solving. Sessions are described as places to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Lissette aims to help people sort priorities, manage overwhelm, and build clearer next steps for daily life.
Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and take values-based action. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy appear in her work to strengthen emotional regulation and relationships.
Across two decades of practice she has helped people facing family conflict, caregiving stress, trauma and life transitions. She also addresses concerns such as panic, sleep disruption, career uncertainty, and issues like abandonment or attachment wounds. The language she uses in sessions is straightforward and focused on what a person can try between meetings.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Online sessions using ACT often include short exercises to try between meetings that build small, steady changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting. In online CBT sessions a person might track thoughts, try behavioral experiments, and review results together with the therapist.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person's goals and circumstances, and adjust techniques over time based on what helps most.
Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when a full appointment is hard to arrange. It can also allow using written work or screen-shared worksheets during a meeting so practical tasks are simple to follow. Ask about format options when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling matches everyday needs.
