About Telisa
Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She focuses on practical ways to cope with life changes and build steadier self-esteem. Conversations with her tend to be direct but compassionate, with attention to what feels useful right now.
Telisa blends tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses.
Background and approach
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and expectations. Sessions aim to be collaborative - the client and therapist set goals together and test what works. Her style is grounded and conversational.
She listens closely, asks questions to clarify what matters, and offers specific exercises to practice between sessions. That might include behavioral experiments, values-based steps, or skills for managing intense feelings. With eight years of clinical experience, Telisa uses a mix of methods to match each person's concerns.
She keeps language plain and focuses on small, achievable changes rather than big abstract promises. Many people come for help with panic, social anxiety, shame, or relationship stress. Telisa holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and the LMHC credential.
She provides services in English and offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility.
Online approaches that help with anxiety and relationships
Telisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. CBT offers clear steps for reducing panic, social anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values. ACT can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily life to decide whether CBT, ACT, or another method fits best. Clients try tools in real situations and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues during conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between live sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and other schedules while keeping focus on progress and practical skills.
