About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza is a licensed clinical social worker based in Florida who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and Spanish and works with clients who want clearer direction, steadier mood, or better day-to-day coping.
She aims to create an open space where people can talk about their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions are framed around practical steps and honest conversation.
Background and approach
Lissette emphasizes gradual change and building skills that clients can use between meetings. With 22 years of experience as an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker - she brings a broad background in emotional and life-transition challenges. That experience includes helping people facing trauma, relationship struggles, caregiving stress, and problems with sleep or panic attacks.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods to match each person’s needs. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral work to challenge unhelpful thinking and from acceptance-based approaches to help people live by their values. Emotion-focused ideas are used when deeper relational patterns need attention.
Sessions can be scheduled by following the platform steps and choosing the communication format that fits daily life. The focus is on clear goals, steady progress, and practical strategies families and parents can try between sessions.

How her approaches fit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It supports people who want more meaning and steady behavior change even when feelings are intense. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person's own priorities and pacing, giving space for them to lead the conversation and for the therapist to listen without judgment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Lissette will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then recommend techniques from these approaches that fit. That plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care fit a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other daily demands.
