About Telisa

Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She is experienced with panic disorder and panic attacks and offers a calm, steady presence for people feeling overwhelmed. Her style is warm, direct, and nonjudgmental.

Telisa listens carefully to learn what matters to each person. She uses practical tools from several approaches to help people reduce symptoms and build coping skills. Sessions often include straightforward exercises, problem-solving, and discussion about values and goals.

With eight years of experience, Telisa draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance-based work. She blends these approaches to match what each person needs instead of using a single method for everyone.

Her work also touches on attachment issues, trauma and post-traumatic stress, self-esteem, and relationship communication in individual therapy. She helps people who struggle with feelings like shame, guilt, isolation, or impulsivity find clearer ways to respond.

Telisa trained at South University and continues learning current, evidence-informed practices. She works from Florida and offers services in English. People interested in beginning can follow the site’s intake steps to see if her approach feels like a fit.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes identifying personal values and taking action in line with those values, which can help with anxiety and panic by shifting attention to meaningful goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides practical exercises to challenge unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which is useful for panic attacks and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life, such as easier scheduling around work or home responsibilities, quicker check-ins when needed, and not needing to travel to appointments. Telisa’s methods translate to remote work because they include exercises, homework, and goal-focused planning that can be done between sessions.
