About Lissette
Lissette Collazo Maza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 22 years of experience. She helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her approach centers on emotions and relationships. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people name and work through feelings that feel confusing or overwhelming. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Client-Centered Therapy when those methods fit the situation.
In practical terms she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, like persistent worry, avoidance, or harsh self-criticism. She helps clients notice those patterns and practice different responses. Conversations often focus on how emotions influence choices and relationships.
Her work includes a range of life concerns such as trauma and abuse, sleep problems, career questions, ADHD, and family stress. She also addresses attachment and abandonment worries, codependency, communication and control issues, and the fallout from separation or divorce.
People who meet with her can expect straightforward talk about current problems and skills to try between sessions. Getting started involves a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals can be clarified.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with emotions that shape relationship and behavior patterns. Online sessions using EFT typically center on noticing emotional responses and trying new ways of expressing needs and feelings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without fighting them and commit to actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which mix of EFT, ACT, CBT, DBT, or client-centered work to try and adjust that plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of remote work can include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time. If you are unsure which session formats are available, confirm current options before booking. The therapist emphasizes making therapy fit everyday life, for example by planning shorter check-ins when time is limited or focusing on skill practice between visits.
