About Vivian
Vivian Tejera is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, and depression. She also supports those facing caregiving burdens, aging and geriatric concerns, codependency, and feelings of isolation. Vivian writes plainly and focuses on practical next steps so people can act on what they learn in sessions.
She brings five years of clinical practice and more than 15 years of experience across counseling, education, healthcare, and social services. That background shapes an approach that centers the therapeutic relationship and adapts to what each person needs in the moment. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match the client’s goals.
Vivian uses a mix of methods to help people build coping skills and make meaningful changes. She draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and reshape unhelpful thinking. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build actions that matter.
Her style is practical and down-to-earth. She listens, helps people name what is getting in the way, and suggests small experiments clients can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than overnight fixes.
People come to her for help with grief and end-of-life concerns, communication problems, guilt and shame, and multicultural stressors. She supports those caring for others and those living with intellectual disability who want clearer routines and better coping.
Vivian works in Florida and conducts therapy in English. She encourages anyone curious about therapy to take the first step and look into a consultation.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, practical steps toward those values. It can help when someone is stuck in avoidance, codependent patterns, or low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and helps people test and change unhelpful thinking. This is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress that affects daily routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps tailor interventions that feel doable and relevant to real life.
Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow conversations from wherever you are that day. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed or sessions without video if that helps someone engage more. A therapist will discuss practical arrangements and the best way to use online sessions to support progress.
