About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She speaks English and Spanish and brings over two decades of work in mental health. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things. She encourages small steps that lead to clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
In sessions she focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used when clients want concrete ways to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas may be introduced to help people clarify values and commit to meaningful action.
Her background includes long experience supporting people through parenting stress, relationship and family tensions, career concerns, and trauma or abuse recovery. She also addresses sleep problems, ADHD-related challenges, and panic symptoms with practical strategies. The work often blends coaching elements for motivation and planning alongside therapeutic skills training.
She aims to help clients manage guilt, shame, abandonment fears, and attachment-related patterns that affect daily life. Conversations often include communication skills, setting boundaries, and working through grief or separation. Progress is typically framed around achievable goals and clearer daily routines.
People who choose her report a calm, straightforward approach focused on understanding what matters to them. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's pace and priorities, which helps build trust and clearer goals in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, useful for life changes and motivation work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, panic, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals shift and progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is useful, or make it simpler to use worksheets and screen-sharing during skill-building. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work across a range of everyday problems while focusing on practical steps that fit into daily life.
