Lissette Ciabattoni , LCSW

Lissette Ciabattoni is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She practices in Florida and offers an affirming approach to LGBT concerns and women's issues. Her style is warm and straightforward and aimed at practical change.

She centers sessions on the person in front of her. Lissette helps clients name what feels hard and choose small steps that lead to relief. Conversations focus on understanding patterns, testing new ways of coping, and building everyday routines that work.

Lissette blends cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her address immediate symptoms while looking at longer patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses breathing and attention skills alongside thought work and talk about past influences.

Over three decades she has guided people through major life transitions and identity questions. She supports those facing relationship stress, work pressure, and changing roles. The aim is to strengthen coping and increase emotional clarity.

Sessions are practical and collaborative. Clients can expect clear goals, simple tools to try between meetings, and gentle exploration of deeper themes when those come up. Lissette's work is rooted in respect for each person's story and aims to help them take manageable steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses clear steps and exercises to reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build coping skills. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase emotional calm, which can help with stress and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the client notices what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Messaging and live chat work well for short updates, brief coping tools, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, childcare, or travel schedules and let people access licensed professionals from their own location.
