About Telisa
Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She meets people where they are and focuses on small, practical steps that feel doable. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who need clear support during hard moments.
Telisa listens closely and uses that information to shape each session. She blends talk-based work with tools people can use between sessions.
Background and approach
That can mean practicing new ways to handle intense emotions, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or strengthening how someone relates to others. Her approach draws on several psychotherapy styles, chosen to fit the person's goals. She may use acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build meaningful action.
Cognitive work can help change patterns of thinking that fuel anxiety or depression. Telisa has eight years of clinical experience in mental health work. She earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from South University and holds a Florida LMHC license.
That background informs how she structures care and tracks progress with each person. Sessions are practical and collaborative. Telisa helps people set realistic goals and practices skills during appointments.
Her aim is to help clients leave sessions with one or two concrete things to try before the next meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Telisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values, even when feelings are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also part of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and adjusts methods based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative decision-making helps match tools to the person’s real life and priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video suits deeper conversational work and skill practice, phone can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief check-ins and between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
