About Lissette
Lissette Ciabattoni is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She offers warm, straightforward care for people facing depression, self-esteem struggles, identity questions, and major life changes. Her practice emphasizes respect and clarity during hard moments.
She draws on approaches that include cognitive behavioral work, mindfulness practices, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor what happens in sessions. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice calm-focused exercises, and look at patterns that repeat over time.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and relevant to day-to-day life. Lissette has particular experience supporting LGBT people and addressing women’s issues. She works to create space where people can talk openly about identity, relationships, or role changes without judgment.
The goal is to build coping skills that fit each person’s life and values. Therapy with her typically combines short-term tools and deeper reflection. Clients may practice new skills between sessions and reflect on how old patterns affect current choices.
Progress is guided by the client’s goals and pace. Lissette sees clients in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She uses a mix of conversation, behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises to help people move forward at a workable speed.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Many of her sessions draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT often uses simple exercises and home practice to build new habits.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and calm the body. These exercises are short and can be used between sessions to manage intense feelings.
Psychodynamic ideas are woven in to look at recurring patterns and early influences that shape current reactions. This helps people gain insight into why certain situations trigger distress and how to choose different responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text let clients send short updates or check-ins between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity during life changes.
