Vivian Tejera

Vivian Tejera is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She draws on five years of clinical practice plus more than 15 years working across counseling, education, healthcare, and social services. Vivian aims to make beginning therapy feel manageable and practical for worried parents and caregivers.

Her style is relationship-centered and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters most right now and on small steps that move a person forward. She adapts her approach to each moment instead of following a rigid script, and she works with clients to set clear, realistic goals.

Vivian uses a mix of well-known therapeutic approaches to fit the person in front of her. She blends strategies from cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and trauma-focused methods when those tools match the concern. She also uses client-centered and existential perspectives to hold conversations about meaning, identity, and values.

She has experience supporting people coping with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric challenges, hospice and end-of-life concerns, codependency, communication problems, guilt, and isolation. Intellectual disability is listed among her focus areas, and she brings experience across multicultural settings.

Vivian holds an LCSW license in North Carolina and Florida, and she practices in Florida. Her approach is grounded in steady collaboration, practical strategies, and attention to each person’s unique situation.

Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking steady action toward the life someone wants, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to improve everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, personal preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce commute time. It can also let someone choose moments that are quieter or less interruptive, which makes regular progress more achievable.
