About Viviana
Viviana Urgiles is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy and other practical approaches to help people cope with trauma, anxiety, and major life changes. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and aims to make therapy direct and understandable for worried parents and busy people.
She focuses on trauma and its ripple effects, including PTSD, childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, and medical trauma. She also helps with anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or attachment struggles that often follow difficult experiences.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses clear, skill-based work to teach coping tools and emotional regulation strategies. She also uses talk-based methods to help people make sense of painful memories and rebuild trust in themselves and others. Viviana adapts her approach to each person’s needs and background.
That can mean practicing new ways to respond when stress flares or revisiting old patterns that keep problems repeating. She explains what she’s doing and why, so people understand the steps in therapy. Her practice includes support for issues such as caregiver stress, blended family challenges, intimacy and communication problems, addiction concerns, gender dysphoria, and HIV/AIDS related stress.
She works with clients across Texas and offers services that can fit different schedules and lifestyles.

Online support
Online approaches that work for trauma and relationships
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people track and name their emotions and attachment needs so they can change painful interaction patterns and build stronger emotional connections. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and building small, practical steps to live a meaningful life even when painful thoughts or feelings are present. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current behavior and helps people create new, healthier ways of relating to others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as progress is made or goals change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues for deeper emotional work, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people schedule care around parenting, work, or medical appointments while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
