About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 22 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and motivation. She speaks English and Spanish and works with individuals who are facing life changes, sleep difficulties, career questions, or trauma and abuse. Her practice focuses on practical support and steady progress.
She uses straightforward conversations to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions look at what is getting in the way of daily functioning and test different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to notice thinking patterns and try concrete behavior changes. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered methods when helpful.
Lissette pays attention to relationship and family dynamics as they affect personal well-being. She helps people who name attachment wounds, codependency, caregiver stress, or separation and divorce concerns. Work can include communication skills and emotion regulation strategies.
Practical problem-solving is part of most sessions. That may mean setting small goals, practicing new responses between meetings, or using simple grounding and breathing skills for panic and anxiety. She explains steps clearly and checks in on progress from week to week.
People who choose her can expect direct, concrete suggestions and a steady focus on what helps in daily life. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before scheduling their first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
CBT focuses on identifying thoughts that lead to distress and testing small behavior changes. This helps with anxiety, mood problems, panic, sleep difficulties, and everyday stress by breaking tasks into manageable steps and tracking results.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. It is useful for coping with life changes, low motivation, and ongoing worry. Client-centered methods prioritize listening and reflecting so clients can shape their own goals and feel understood while deciding what to try next.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful. Ask about available session lengths and the subscription payment model before scheduling to match sessions to everyday routines.
