About Lissette

Lissette Ciabattoni is a Florida licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, and identity questions.

Background and approach

She brings an inclusive, LGBTQ-affirming stance to her work and pays particular attention to women's issues and challenges that arise during life transitions. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and individualized care, combining practical skill-building with attention to personal history and meaning.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness techniques, and psychodynamic ideas to help clients develop tools for coping, increase emotional insight, and reduce distress in day-to-day life. Clients can expect a focus on strengths and resilience while addressing patterns that get in the way of well-being.

Lissette aims to create an environment where people can explore identity, build healthier habits, and pursue lasting change at a pace that fits their needs and circumstances.

Approaches for Online Healing and Personal Growth

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive responses; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental acceptance of experience, which can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation during life transitions.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then tailors methods so clients learn skills that fit their daily lives and values.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and greater access to care. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of support while balancing work, family, and other commitments, and they allow clients to use the formats that feel most comfortable for their therapeutic progress.
