Dr. Wildelia "Delia" Santiago, LMHC

Dr. Wildelia "Delia" Santiago helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She guides clients through anger and mood challenges and supports those coping with relationship strain, trauma, and the aftermath of separation or infidelity.

She keeps sessions straightforward and focused. Conversations are a chance to name what feels hard and to practice different ways of responding. She creates a calm atmosphere so people can speak openly about feeling stuck, empty, or overwhelmed.

Delia draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centered methods. She uses clear tools and short exercises in-session to help people test new behaviors between meetings. The goal is practical change, step by step.

With 13 years of work in mental health and a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential, she brings steady experience to common and complex struggles. She also uses elements from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused techniques when helpful.

Sessions are available in Spanish and English. She accepts international clients and offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Taking the first step can feel difficult, and she works alongside each person to find a manageable path forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Dr. Santiago frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working with online clients. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while committing to values-based actions that build a meaningful life.

She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client review goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works and feels manageable. The emphasis is on practical steps and learning skills that can be used between sessions.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging support ongoing skills practice and brief updates between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life, or travel schedules.
