About Lissette

Lissette Collazo Maza is a Florida licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions while supporting growth in areas like self-esteem, parenting, career concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

With 22 years of professional experience, she emphasizes a collaborative relationship where clients' thoughts and emotions are explored without judgment. Her style blends practical skills with emotional understanding to help clients pursue more satisfying daily routines and clearer goals.

She draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs, focusing on what will help them move forward in concrete ways. Lissette creates space for clients to reflect on patterns such as attachment, codependency, or control issues and to develop new coping strategies for panic, sleep difficulties, and caregiver stress.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and aim to balance insight with tools that can be applied between meetings.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify values that guide meaningful action; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors through practical exercises to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, and sleep disruption. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports exploring and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and can help with attachment wounds and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lissette approaches treatment collaboratively, helping each person choose which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. She integrates techniques over time so clients can try tools and adjust the plan based on what helps them make progress.

Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility across different routines. These formats make it possible to practice skills between meetings and to access therapy without commuting, which can be especially helpful for managing stress, parenting demands, or busy work schedules.
