Telisa Hayden

Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what feels overwhelming and find clearer next steps.

Telisa uses active listening to help people identify strengths and patterns that keep problems stuck. She draws on therapies that focus on thoughts, emotions, and relationships to build coping skills and improve daily functioning. Sessions emphasize practical tools plus time to reflect on meaning and values.

Her work includes support for people facing abandonment issues, attachment concerns, body image struggles, and relationship communication problems. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

Telisa holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from South University and has eight years of professional experience. She keeps her practice informed by current evidence-based approaches to better tailor care to each person’s needs.

Her approach balances skill-building with emotional processing. People leave sessions with concrete strategies they can try between meetings and a clearer sense of what matters to them. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are hard. It helps when life changes make decision-making and motivation difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses, which can help with abandonment and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their goals and preferences. Treatment plans can adapt as needs change, with the therapist checking in about what helps most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find they can practice skills between sessions more consistently when scheduling is simpler, and the therapist can suggest practical ways to use what is learned in day-to-day situations.
