About Lissette

Lissette Collazo Maza, LCSW, focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and parenting challenges. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida. She aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

Her style centers on listening and creating a calm space to talk through thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions emphasize practical steps and small, sustainable changes. She guides people to build confidence and find clearer motivation for daily life.

With 22 years of experience, Lissette draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thinking. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people focus on valued actions even when feelings are hard.

For people coping with family stress, codependency concerns, or the fallout of major life changes, she addresses communication issues, guilt, and role strain. She helps clients develop better sleep routines, manage panic and mood symptoms, and sort through career or life-purpose questions.

Her sessions combine focused listening with clear, doable strategies. Prospective clients are encouraged to consider their goals and preferred language when starting. The aim is steady progress so people leave sessions feeling more able to handle the next step.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It focuses on values and small actions that move daily life toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and uses step-by-step exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. These methods can help with anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and codependency patterns.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences and test methods that feel useful. That collaborative process helps shape whether more ACT-focused work or CBT tools will be emphasized over time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm which options are offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to keep regular appointments and to practice new skills between meetings.
