About Viviana
Viviana Urgiles is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of experience in clinical practice. She is based in Texas and works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, depression, and life changes.
Her work often focuses on people who have experienced complex or single-incident trauma. She also helps with grief, caregiver stress, addiction concerns, and challenges tied to sexual or gender identity. She lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas and helps people navigate loyalty conflicts and shifting household roles.
Viviana uses several evidence-informed approaches in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns that affect trust and closeness.
In practical terms she blends acceptance and commitment strategies with elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotion regulation or intense reactions are present. Sessions center on concrete skills, clearer communication, and small behavior changes that fit into daily life.
Her background includes work across New York and Texas and a focus on trauma-related problems such as PTSD, interpersonal violence, and medical trauma. She aims to help people restore steadier routines, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and regain a clearer sense of priorities.
Viviana conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to use the site's matching process and scheduling flow to start the intake and set up a first session.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Viviana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy when working with clients. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on values-based actions that matter to them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape trust and closeness in current relationships and can be useful for relationship strain or blended household tensions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break down unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. These methods are described and tried collaboratively so the therapist and client can decide which approach fits best for the presenting concerns and goals.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. The practical benefit of remote work is that sessions can fit into busy schedules more easily, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or audio-only calls when video is difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, ACT, and attachment-based exercises for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings and track small changes over time.
