About Telisa

Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Telisa aims to create a calm, compassionate space where people can talk through what’s overwhelming them and find clearer footing.

In sessions she listens closely and asks practical questions to uncover what matters most to the client. She draws on tools from several therapeutic approaches to match strategies to a person’s needs.

Background and approach

Expect clear, down-to-earth conversation and steps you can try between sessions. Telisa blends existential perspectives with skills-based methods. That means she helps people name their values and make choices that feel meaningful, while also teaching techniques for managing intense emotions or panic.

The work often involves building awareness of patterns and practicing new ways to respond. Her approach also includes attention to attachment and relational patterns. She helps people understand how past connections shape present reactions and communication.

This can help with issues like abandonment, trust, and rebuilding self-worth. With eight years of clinical experience, Telisa uses methods from CBT, ACT, DBT, and attachment-based work when they fit a person’s goals. She keeps things straightforward and practical so progress feels manageable.

If someone wants a therapist who combines meaning-focused talk with concrete skills, Telisa offers that mix.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Telisa uses Existential Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and make choices that align with their values. This approach focuses on meaning, responsibility, and coming to terms with life’s big questions in practical ways.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, which teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then taking values-driven action. That can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her work and looks at how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and communication, which can aid with trust, abandonment concerns, and connection issues.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made over time so the work stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter, flexible option fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping the focus on steady progress.
