About Lissette

Lissette Collazo Maza is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, and sleep difficulties. She also supports those facing parenting challenges, career concerns, attention differences, and feelings of low self-worth. Her approach is warm and nonjudgmental, aimed at making it easier to talk about hard things and find practical next steps.

She creates a calm space where people can name worries and try small changes. Sessions focus on clear, doable tools rather than jargon. Lissette listens for what matters most and tailors ideas to each person’s daily life.

With over two decades of professional experience and a Florida LCSW credential, she blends several well-known approaches. Those include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work. She uses them to help people notice unhelpful patterns and practice new ways of responding.

Typical goals might be sleeping better, reducing panic or worry, improving communication, or managing mood swings. Lissette also helps people cope with trauma, family stress, abandonment and attachment concerns, and life transitions. She emphasizes steady progress and habits that fit into a busy life.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules a session according to the therapist’s availability. The site’s subscription can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with sleep struggles, anxiety, and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings connect, and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns like rumination or nighttime worry. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and reducing panic or impulsive reactions; these skills can support better day-to-day coping and steadier sleep.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps in real life rather than following any single template.

If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking so you know what options are currently offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. They also let people try skills and sleep strategies in the actual settings where sleep and daily routines happen, making practice more practical and immediate.
