About Viviana
Viviana Urgiles is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience helping people recover from traumatic and stressful life events. She offers straightforward, compassionate support and practical skills to manage strong emotions. Viviana provides care across Texas and works with English-speaking clients, including international callers where appropriate.
Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods to address trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship strain. She helps people understand how past hurt affects current reactions and relationships.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building emotional regulation, coping tools, and clearer communication skills. Viviana commonly sees people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief and loss, medical or caregiver stress, and the fallout from domestic violence or interpersonal violence. She also supports those facing life shifts like divorce or career change, and people navigating issues tied to gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, or addiction.
Practical problem-solving is paired with attention to emotional safety. In therapy she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive-behavioral strategies, attachment-focused ideas, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. The goal is steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.
Treatment is tailored to the person’s history, strengths, and current goals. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful memories and daily challenges. Viviana aims to help people build resilience, reduce distress, and make clearer choices that match their values and priorities.

Online support
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Viviana uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck on them and then take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns today and helps people build safer ways of relating and regulating emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then choose methods together. This collaborative planning means therapy adapts as goals change and progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs to move around. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, between-session support, or if typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
