Vivian Tejera, LCSW

Vivian Tejera is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in North Carolina and Florida with five years of professional clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Sessions are offered in English and described by her as collaborative and practical.

Vivian draws on several therapy methods while keeping the meeting focused on what matters now. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also works from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered approaches when those fit the issue at hand.

Her style emphasizes working together to identify small, concrete steps a person can try between sessions. That might look like testing a different response in a stressful moment, practicing a short behavioral experiment, or changing a routine that keeps problems repeating. She keeps language plain and actions specific so people know what to practice at home.

Vivian has additional experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, and multicultural concerns. She also addresses codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness.

Her background includes more than 15 years across counseling, education, healthcare, and social services roles before gaining clinical licensure. She asks questions, listens for what is getting in the way, and works with each person to try different ways of responding until something shifts.
