Tisela Viera, LCSW

Tisela Viera is a Florida-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of professional experience supporting adults through significant life challenges. She focuses on helping older adults navigate life transitions, manage chronic pain and illness, and process loss and trauma, while also working with individuals experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. Her clinical work emphasizes rediscovering personal strengths, developing practical coping strategies, and fostering a renewed sense of purpose and well-being.

As a therapist she cultivates an open and non-judgmental space where people can explore their thoughts and emotions at their own pace. Tisela tailors her approach to each person, blending relevant techniques to address concerns such as grief, post-traumatic stress, and difficulties related to chronic illness or life change. She acknowledges the courage involved in starting therapy and partners with clients to support steady progress toward healing and personal growth.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Tisela integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify personal values and learn practical ways to accept difficult emotions while taking meaningful action - it can be useful for coping with chronic illness, loss, and persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and non-judgmental listening, providing space for clients to explore feelings and gain insight at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and strengthen coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tisela works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and she adjusts techniques as needs evolve over time. This partnership helps tailor the work to what will be most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy with Tisela is offered by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without requiring travel, and they allow therapy to fit into busy or changing lives.
