About Viviana
Viviana Urgiles is a licensed clinical social worker who centers therapy on meaning, choice, and personal values. She blends existential ideas with practical tools to help people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her voice is steady and direct, and she aims for clear, doable steps in sessions.
She has 15 years of experience and holds LCSW credentials in New York and Texas. She supports people dealing with trauma, PTSD, childhood abuse, interpersonal and domestic violence, medical trauma, grief, and loss.
Background and approach
She also helps with anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, career strain, and struggles tied to caregiving and first responder stress. In sessions she combines existential perspectives with approaches like acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, client-centered methods, and cognitive behavioral techniques. That means she attends to people’s values and life meaning while teaching skills for emotion regulation and clearer communication.
The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Viviana pays attention to how early attachments and relationship patterns affect current emotional life. She works with issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, blended family tensions, and communication breakdowns.
She also addresses gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and grief tied to cancer and caregiving. People can expect straightforward discussion and practical homework when useful. Sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and pace.
Viviana offers services for English-speaking clients in Texas and accepts international clients.

Online support
How existential and skills-based approaches work online
Existential therapy looks at life’s big questions and personal values to help people find meaning and direction. It is useful for people facing major life changes, grief, or feeling stuck and unsure about next steps.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that match a person’s values. It helps with anxiety, depression, trauma aftereffects, and motivation for change.
Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and reactions. It can help with intimacy-related issues, abandonment wounds, and communication problems.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make therapy more usable across different schedules and situations.
