Vivian Tejera

Vivian Tejera is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She also works with concerns that often come up around aging, caregiving stress, feelings of isolation, codependency, and end-of-life questions. Vivian communicates plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions.

She brings five years of clinical practice in Florida and more than 15 years in counseling, education, healthcare, and social services. That broad background informs how she listens and responds. She describes her style as relationship-centered and eclectic, which means she draws on several approaches and adapts to each person’s needs.

In a session she works collaboratively and keeps goals clear. Conversations often include noticing what matters most, naming unhelpful patterns, and testing small changes that feel doable. Clients can expect straightforward feedback and tools they can try at home.

Vivian often uses ideas from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered conversation. She pays attention to how culture, caregiving roles, and disability shape daily life. Her aim is to help people take practical first steps toward greater calm, clearer communication, and more self-compassion.

Her approach honors the pace a person chooses. Vivian encourages short, achievable goals and regular check-ins so progress feels real and manageable.

Approaches that guide online work and choice

Vivian draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to identify values that give daily life meaning. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with major life transitions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test small, practical changes in behavior. CBT techniques often focus on changing routines and reactions that maintain low mood or worry.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Vivian will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods and adjust based on what is working, keeping therapy collaborative and flexible.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let someone avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals, including therapists with these approaches, often use online meetings to maintain continuity of care and to support steady progress without a major disruption to daily life.
