Vivian Tejera , LCSW

Vivian Tejera is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with five years of professional clinical experience and more than 15 years working across counseling, education, healthcare, and social services. She supports people coping with stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, struggles with motivation, self-esteem and confidence, developmental disabilities, and depression. Her practice emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and draws from a variety of evidence-informed frameworks to tailor care to each person’s situation.

Vivian describes her style as adaptable and collaborative - she adjusts interventions to meet the needs of the moment because every day and every individual present differently. Clients work with her to explore concerns, build insight, and develop practical steps toward change and growth. She encourages a paced, strengths-based approach that recognizes progress often begins with small, intentional steps. That first step has already been taken by reaching out, and Vivian aims to help clients continue moving forward with clarity and purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Vivian Tejera uses approaches that help people clarify values, build practical skills, and center the therapeutic relationship. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and unconditional positive regard - it creates a supportive environment where clients explore their concerns at their own pace and develop self-directed growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - it is often effective for anxiety, depression, and building coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Vivian works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to find a practical fit rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - which can make participation easier to fit into a busy life and help maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult. These options enable licensed professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support across different settings and schedules.
