About Lissette
Lissette Ciabattoni is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical therapy to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and identity questions. She brings 30 years of experience to conversations about self-esteem and life changes. Her work is affirming of LGBT identities and attentive to women's issues.
She combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice calm presence, and understand patterns that repeat over time.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on small, doable steps that add up to real change. People can expect a warm, straightforward approach in sessions. She listens closely, helps name what feels hard, and offers tools to manage symptoms day to day.
The emphasis is on skills that fit each person’s life and goals. Over three decades in practice, she has supported adults through transitions and persistent worries. Her Florida LCSW license guides clinical judgment and ethical care.
Experience has taught her to balance short-term strategies with deeper reflection. Therapy often includes skill practice between meetings, gentle exploration of personal history, and mindfulness exercises. Progress can look like clearer thinking, calmer moments, and better ways to cope with stress.
Many people find the combination of practical skills and reflective work useful as they move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions, which makes symptoms easier to manage with concrete steps.Mindfulness Therapy is offered to teach present-moment awareness and simple breathing or focus practices. These techniques can reduce reactivity and help with stress and anxiety in daily life.
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences shape current feelings and relationship patterns. This can help people understand recurring reactions and make different choices moving forward.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions can shift over time as those needs change and progress becomes clear.
Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills in real time. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or require less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility so people can get help in ways that fit their schedules and daily life.
