Lianet Delfin
Hi, I’m Lianet, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can be completely yourself, without judgment or pressure. I work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, self-doubt, or difficult life transitions. You may look like you have everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted on the inside.
Through active listening, Psychoeducation and blending evidence-based techniques, I create and provide personalized care.
Together, we’ll work to understand what’s keeping you stuck, develop practical tools to manage difficult emotions, strengthen your confidence and boundaries, and create meaningful changes in your life. My approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and supportive with compassion and accountability. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and tailor treatment to your individual needs, goals, and experiences
First session
In our first session, we’ll get to know each other and talk about what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll discuss your current challenges, what you’d like to change, and what you’re hoping to get from therapy. I’ll answer any questions you have and we’ll determine whether we’re a good fit to work together. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan based on your goals and needs. There is no pressure to have everything figured out before our first session.
Strengths
I bring warmth, compassion, and a nonjudgmental approach to every session. I take the time to truly listen and understand your perspective while helping you identify patterns, build confidence, and work toward meaningful change. I’ll support you when things feel difficult, but I’ll also gently challenge you when it can help you grow. My goal is for our sessions to feel like a safe, collaborative space where you can be honest, gain clarity, and leave with practical tools you can use in your everyday life.
Ideal clients
I work best with adults who are ready to better understand themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives. You may be dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, grief, or a major life transition. You may feel stuck in patterns that you understand intellectually but have difficulty changing. My clients often want to feel more confident, communicate more effectively, establish healthier boundaries, manage their emotions, and develop a stronger sense of self. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We’ll work together to figure out where to begin.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This approach is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings and behaviors are all connected. Negative thoughts can lead to negative feelings and actions, but by changing the way we think, we can improve how we feel and behave. I use CBT in my practice to help clients learn and incorporate different strategies into their routine which help them change maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors. Clients are able to gain healthier and more functional ways of thinking and acting.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice with clients, I use this therapeutic approach to identify client's strengths and what's already working in their lives. During our therapy sessions, we focus on developing effective solutions creating small, achievable steps towards desired outcomes, fostering a sense of progress and empowerment. I help clients emphasize on solutions rather than problems to help them maintain hope and build on their existing capabilities to create meaningful and lasting change.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
In working with clients I use this form of psychotherapy to focus on helping individuals accept difficult emotions without judgement, rather than trying to avoid them. I help clients identify their core values and align their actions with said values. Clients learn to foster a sense of purpose and direction. Through different techniques and exercises, clients are able to develop psychological flexibility, which enables them to navigate challenges with resilience and intention.
