About Viviana

Viviana Urgiles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience practicing in Texas. She focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and the stress that follows big life changes. Viviana also helps people facing addiction, grief, parenting pressures, and work-related burnout.

She works with survivors of childhood abuse, interpersonal and domestic violence, sexual trauma, medical trauma, and complex post-traumatic stress. She also addresses attachment wounds, abandonment concerns, intimacy-related issues, and communication problems that often follow traumatic experiences. Viviana lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches and uses it alongside other methods to address emotions and relational patterns.

Her sessions emphasize understanding how trauma shows up in day-to-day life. She helps people name emotions, recognize unhelpful patterns, and develop coping tools for strong feelings. That practical focus includes skills for managing anxiety, depression, and impulsive behaviors related to addiction or ADHD.

Viviana adapts work to each person's circumstances and cultural background. She brings evidence-informed practices such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into treatment planning. These tools are used to build emotional regulation, clearer communication, and steadier relationships.

People who choose Viviana can expect straightforward, goal-focused sessions that address symptoms and daily challenges. She accepts international clients and conducts work from her Texas practice under her NY LCSW and TX LCSW credentials. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and shifting strong emotions and attachment patterns to change how people relate to themselves and others. It can help with relationship patterns, intimacy-related issues, and emotional responses that are hard to name. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Viviana will collaborate with each person to choose which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single fixed method. That collaborative process includes checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting the plan as therapy proceeds.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use video or phone sessions to maintain continuity of care and to adapt session length when needed, but check with Viviana for the exact format she offers.
