About Telisa
LMHC in Florida with eight years of experience, Telisa Hayden focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions and works with individual clients on practical skills and understanding.
Telisa listens for patterns that keep people stuck and then helps them try different ways of responding. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, practicing behavioral experiments, and learning emotion skills. She also addresses attachment and relationship dynamics when they affect mood and behavior.
Her work blends cognitive behavioral tools with approaches that focus on emotions and relationships. That can mean noticing unhelpful thinking, practicing acceptance and values-based action, or exploring attachment concerns that show up in relationships. The methods used include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT).
Telisa aims for a direct and practical style. She helps clients break large problems into manageable steps. That includes concrete exercises to try between sessions and short-term goals to measure progress.
She earned a Master of Arts in Mental Health Counseling from South University and holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, LMHC. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered from Florida. To begin, prospective clients follow the standard intake flow on the site to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and choosing behavior that matches personal values. Online ACT work can include values clarification, brief experiments, and behavioral homework to practice between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety or depression. In virtual sessions this often means thought records, exposure tasks broken into steps, and actionable coping tools to use day to day. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and emotional reactions. Through discussion and reflective exercises, online sessions can identify attachment patterns and practice new interaction strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the methods above and adapt them based on the client’s goals and preferences. Decisions about what to try are collaborative and may shift as needs change.
The site biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when that suits a day, and reduce travel time. It also supports using digital worksheets and in-the-moment coaching during real-life practice, helping skills transfer into everyday routines.
