About Viviana Urgiles

Viviana Urgiles, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience supporting individuals as they recover from the impact of trauma and major life stress. She serves clients across New York and Texas and brings a culturally responsive, supportive style that helps people make sense of what they have been through and begin rebuilding a steadier sense of safety and well-being.

Her work centers on trauma and complex trauma, including post-traumatic stress, childhood abuse and neglect, interpersonal violence, domestic violence, sexual trauma, medical trauma, and grief and loss. She understands that traumatic experiences can shape many parts of daily life, from relationships and trust to self-esteem, emotional regulation, and overall health. In therapy, she helps clients explore how trauma affects both mind and body while strengthening coping skills, resilience, and healthier patterns for moving forward.

Viviana also supports concerns that often show up alongside trauma, such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, attachment wounds, social anxiety, life transitions, workplace pressure, and multicultural challenges. She tailors treatment to each person’s goals, strengths, and needs, with an emphasis on creating a therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout the process. She approaches healing as possible, whether someone is navigating recent events, unresolved experiences from the past, or the long-term effects of chronic stress and adversity, and works collaboratively toward insight, growth, and a more balanced life.

Evidence-based approaches, delivered online with flexibility

Viviana Urgiles, LCSW, integrates practical, trauma-informed methods that help clients understand patterns, build coping strategies, and reconnect with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another, and it can be especially useful when anxiety, depression, or stress reactions start to feel stuck or repetitive.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward personal values. This approach can support people coping with trauma-related distress, life transitions, or chronic stress by strengthening psychological flexibility and helping daily choices feel more intentional. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills can also be incorporated to improve emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness when emotions feel intense or hard to manage.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Viviana works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, consider preferences, and adjust the pace and tools over time so therapy feels relevant and workable.

Online therapy adds convenience and access through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to stay consistent, fit sessions into a busy week, and get support in a format that matches each client’s needs.
