Lissette Collazo Maza, LCSW - Therapist in Florida

About Lissette

Lissette Collazo Maza is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at making a worried parent feel heard and understood from the first contact.

Lissette creates a space where clients can talk about hard things without judgment. She focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations are rooted in what matters to each person, not in jargon or lengthy labels. With 22 years of experience, she draws on a mix of proven therapy methods to suit different needs. That experience includes work around trauma and abuse, family stress, sleep problems, and mood or panic issues.

She also helps people struggling with relationship patterns such as attachment, codependency, and communication problems. Sessions often include problem-solving tools, short exercises, and coaching around real-life routines. Lissette helps clients notice what gets in the way of goals and try small changes that build confidence over time.

She also supports people working through major transitions like divorce or midlife shifts. Her approach is collaborative. She listens carefully, offers clear options, and helps clients pick strategies that fit their daily life.

For a parent worried about balance or a person facing anxiety, she aims to make each step feel doable and focused on real results.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people get clearer on their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions are strong. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and decisions about parenting or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce worry and improve sleep and mood. It gives simple tools people can practice between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and recommend a few methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Online therapy makes those methods easier to use in day-to-day life. Video calls let a therapist observe family dynamics or coach a parent in real time. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and quick check-ins between longer meetings. These options help people keep momentum without extra travel and make it possible to try strategies in the same context where challenges occur.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
