About me

Hello!
About Me:
My name is Lissette Argenal and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have around 7 years of experience providing mental health therapy. I graduated with a master’s degree in Science in Mental Health Counseling in 2015 in Miami, FL. I worked in a hospital in the psychiatric department providing therapy for Baker-Act patients and patients with medical problems for a year. I also have experience working with all ages and stages of human life, including mood disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, substance abuse, addictions, trauma, and relationship issues. I also offer emotional support and therapy if all you need is to process and express your feelings with someone with good listening skills focused on grieving, living alone, issues related to lifestyle, issues related to unspecified psychosocial circumstances or other counseling and consultation.

How May I help you today?
- Are you going through depression, anxiety, adjusting to a new environment, or phase of life problems?
- Can I help you to cope with mood disorders and/or substance abuse?
- Are you dealing with toxic relationships, dating relationship break-ups, past or recent loss?
- Is your goal to stop being addicted to social media or to lose weight but do you need emotional motivation?
We can schedule an appointment and start online therapy from the comfort of your home.

Treatment Approach:
I provide a variety of treatment approaches based on evidence. Including CBT, DBT, REBT, BT, ACT, Schema Therapy, Transactional Analysis, PCT, Reality Therapy, Motivational interviewing, solution focus, Existential Therapy, Recreational Therapy, mindfulness, Trauma-informed Care, Narrative Therapy, Gottman Method, Imago Therapy. Some EMDR techniques as well.

Counseling Style:
My counseling style is very compassionate, genuine, empathetic, culturally sensitive, and creative. I have excellent listening skills, and I am nonjudgmental, I do not push my values on clients. I work with the patients in problem-solving skills.
I do not push my patients to talk if they do not feel it or if they are not ready to talk about something. I do not provide advice like a best friend. I am a professional mental health counselor and I do provide a humane, warmth empathetic understanding and can work with you on your treatment plan goals. I help you to heal your wounded mind and soul with evidence-based interventions, and we work together in session to create your treatment goals and develop steps to achieve them! I also provide recommendations and referrals in your therapy session if needed.

Positive results of attending counseling:
As a result, you will feel you are healing by venting your feelings and talking about your problems to solve them. Goals in therapy and healing are achieved on a case-by-case basis. Healing could take weeks, months, or years as the patient continues working and progressing in therapy.
Congratulations if you have already decided to go to therapy. You are brave and this is your time to thrive with positive, optimistic feelings and start healing your mind, body, and soul.
I want to help you to heal your mind. Let us work on it in session! We can schedule an appointment and start online therapy from the comfort of your home.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Lissette Argenal. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Lissette has been a blessing to me. From day one she has been supportive, understanding, and patient. When I started therapy, I didn't know what to expect. I just knew that I was tired of working through things on my own. With her guidance, I feel like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't have asked for a better therapist. Thank you, Lissette!

I was a little skeptical getting back into therapy but she has been absolutely wonderful and very helpful with new techniques. I also feel like we get a lot accomplished in the sessions we have.
