Telisa Hayden

Telisa Hayden is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She is based in Florida and brings eight years of clinical experience to her work. Telisa listens closely and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more connected.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness and trust, and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy help with strong emotions and impulse control.

Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, manageable changes. People can expect active listening, questions that help them see patterns, and simple practices to try between meetings. Telisa helps clients notice strengths and build new routines that fit their lives.

She also addresses issues like abandonment, body image, communication problems, guilt and shame, and isolation or loneliness. Her work includes supporting those coping with separation, parenting challenges, and finding life purpose.

Telisa holds a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling and the credential LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor. She stays current with evidence-based methods and tailors them to each person’s needs.

How common therapy approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, invites people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It helps clarify personal values and choose small, meaningful actions that match those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns that lead to distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections and can help people build more secure ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about what feels most helpful and adjust methods based on goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape a plan that fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the therapist’s profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using tools like worksheets, in-session behavioral experiments, and at-home practice between meetings so therapy feels practical and connected to everyday routines.
