About Tiffany
Dr. Tiffany Vastardis helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship challenges, and trauma. She uses straightforward language and practical tools so people can manage day-to-day feelings.
Her approach is warm and direct, aimed at making sessions useful from the first visit. She draws on 17 years of clinical experience as a licensed mental health counselor. Sessions focus on clarifying what matters most to each person and finding steps they can try between visits.
Background and approach
Therapy can include talk, behavioral practice, and simple skills to reduce overwhelm and improve communication. Dr. Vastardis blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and shift patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods shape how she builds the therapeutic relationship.
Those approaches emphasize listening, understanding relationship patterns, and creating space to talk about attachment and connection issues. Existential ideas are woven in to help people consider meaning, choice, and responsibility in their lives.
She works with a wide range of concerns including adoption and foster care issues, attachment problems, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, sexual identity and kink-related topics, and communication or commitment difficulties. Sessions are offered in English and serve clients in Florida and beyond.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential therapy helps people name life choices and consider what gives their life meaning; it can be useful when someone feels stuck by loss, major change, or questions about purpose. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choosing actions that match what matters most; this can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of connection and how past relationships shape current reactions, which is helpful for relationship challenges and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life situation, then try methods that fit. Techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most for daily functioning and relationships.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share brief updates, practice skills, or get support between longer sessions.
