Viviana Urgiles, LCSW

Viviana Urgiles is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while addressing the effects of trauma and difficult life events. Viviana aims to create a calm and respectful space where people can talk through painful experiences and start to feel more steady.

She works with individuals facing a wide range of concerns linked to trauma, including PTSD, childhood abuse and interpersonal violence. She also supports people dealing with grief, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and the long-term wear of chronic stress. Viviana pays attention to how these issues affect daily life and relationships.

Her approach draws from practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses techniques that help people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new ways of coping, and build emotional skills for handling intense feelings. Sessions focus on small, doable steps toward change rather than quick fixes.

Viviana adapts care to each person’s story and cultural background. She listens for strengths and collaborates on goals that make sense for everyday life. Over time clients can expect clearer thinking about priorities, better emotion management, and steadier routines.

She holds licenses to practice in New York and Texas and works in English. Prospective clients can choose therapy when they are ready to begin a process of healing and practical change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values while learning to sit with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing new, more helpful ways of responding to stress and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating and coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and keep consistent contact during periods of change. It also allows therapists to assign short between-session exercises and check-ins that support steady progress without requiring long weekly visits.
