About Vivian
Vivian Tejera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with five years of clinical practice. She has more than 15 years of experience across counseling, education, health care, and social services. Vivian works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she also supports issues such as caregiver stress, codependency, isolation, and guilt and shame.
She uses a relationship-centered, flexible approach that draws on several established theories. Sessions focus on what the person brings that day and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She works collaboratively to clarify where someone is stuck and what small changes might help them move forward.
Vivian draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful patterns and try different perspectives. She also weaves in client-centered and existential ideas to help people name their values and make meaning from difficult experiences. Trauma-focused practices are available when relevant to a person’s history.
In sessions she favors clear, plain language and straightforward goals. Conversations often look like mapping what feels heavy right now, testing one or two doable shifts, and checking what helped. That makes the work feel manageable and practical.
She practices in Florida and offers services in English. People who want to start are invited to use the site matching steps to set up an initial appointment and choose a format that fits their life.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Vivian commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that reflect those values, which can help when guilt or shame makes people avoid important parts of life. CBT looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep distress going and tests concrete alternatives, useful for anxiety, low mood, and negative self-beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She treats the choice of method as collaborative and adjusts based on a person’s needs, goals, and what feels most useful in sessions. That means methods may shift as people learn what helps them most.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life because they cut down on travel, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and make scheduling around caregiving or work simpler. Licensed professionals can use these practical advantages to keep momentum between meetings and to try techniques in the settings where problems actually happen.
