About Telisa

Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

Telisa aims to create a calm, steady presence for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Her style is warm and direct.

She listens closely and helps people notice what’s getting in the way. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer communication rather than long explanations.

Telisa uses approaches that match each person's needs. That can include Gottman Method ideas for improving relationship habits, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies to clarify values and take action, and Attachment-Based work to address patterns from early relationships.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills when helpful. With eight years of clinical experience, Telisa blends evidence-informed tools with a compassionate manner.

People can expect straightforward skill-building, reflection, and realtime practice of new ways to respond to stress and conflict. Telisa offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She works in English and practices in Florida as an LMHC.

How different approaches translate to online sessions

Gottman Method ideas focus on practical relationship habits and communication patterns that people can practice in daily life; online sessions often use role play and homework to try new interaction skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and helps people notice and change repeating cycles.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to weigh goals, comfort, and what has or has not worked before. Together they may try different methods and adjust the plan based on progress and preference.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls allow face-to-face connection and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or daily life while using the chosen therapeutic tools.
