Background and approach
Her work covers a range of concerns including sleep problems, career transitions, and attention challenges such as ADHD. She also addresses deeper issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, trauma and abuse, and problems with guilt and shame. Panic and mood symptoms are part of her clinical focus.
Lissette draws from several evidence-based approaches and adjusts her methods to fit each person. She aims for clear goals and straightforward strategies rather than jargon. People looking for help with life changes or relationship struggles can expect direct, collaborative problem solving.
With more than two decades in practice she brings steady support and practical guidance. Her approach is conversational and task-focused, with emphasis on skills that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Lissette encourages small, manageable steps toward lasting change.
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports committing to value-driven action. This can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when making big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems. It often uses straightforward exercises and homework between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, which can help with strong anxiety, mood swings, and relationship stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will choose and adapt techniques so sessions match the person's day-to-day life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people practice skills with face-to-face interaction. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible and can help keep momentum between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain therapy during busy or transitional periods.
