Vivian Tejera, LCSW

Vivian Tejera is an LCSW who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports folks facing changes in motivation, self-esteem, and the challenges that come with aging and geriatric issues.

She brings five years of clinical practice plus more than 15 years working in counseling, education, healthcare, and social services. That range of experience gives her a practical view of everyday problems. She focuses on what’s happening now and what can move a person forward.

Vivian’s style centers on the therapeutic relationship. She keeps the work collaborative and adapts to the needs of the moment. Sessions are conversational and aimed at helping people notice what matters and try small changes that add up.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed models, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She pairs these with client-centered and existential ideas so the plan fits each person rather than forcing one method.

Vivian also addresses caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life counseling, codependency, and isolation. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and supports people with intellectual disability in ways that respect each person's strengths.

If someone wants to start, they are invited to take a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. Vivian emphasizes steady progress and practical steps, and she works with each person to set goals they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions based on personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into parts you can change, often using small exercises and homework to test new ways of responding.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may shift as needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people join from locations that feel convenient, and therapists can adapt exercises and assignments to work well in remote sessions.
