About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed. She helps clients who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting strain, depression, and major life changes. Lissette speaks English and Spanish and works from Florida as an LCSW - a licensed clinical social worker with over two decades of practice.
She aims to make the first step feel manageable and nonjudgmental. Her approach is straightforward and person-centered.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills clients can use between meetings. She draws on methods that teach coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and sharpen communication so clients can tackle recurring problems like panic, mood shifts, and relationship strain. Lissette also supports people facing trauma, abuse, and attachment wounds.
She helps parents and caregivers address overwhelm and guilt, and she assists those dealing with career stress, commitment worries, and life purpose questions. Work often includes building routines for better sleep and managing ADHD-related challenges in daily life. Therapy with her blends practical tools and open listening.
Clients set the pace while she offers evidence-informed techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Sessions are designed to feel respectful and focused on what matters most to each person. Over 22 years in practice, Lissette has worked in varied settings and with many concerns related to mood, panic, and family distress.
She encourages small steps that add up to real change and helps people find clearer direction when life feels stuck.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life-change decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and teaches practical steps to break cycles of worry and low mood. This approach often helps with panic, mood disorders, and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. Sessions often combine listening, skill practice, and action plans so clients can test what helps between meetings.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is good for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting, or busy days.
