Dr. Wildelia "Delia" Santiago, LMHC

Dr. Wildelia "Delia" Santiago helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship strain, and life changes. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 13 years of experience. Her work also covers anger, bipolar concerns, trauma and abuse, and feelings of isolation and jealousy.

She aims to create an open space where clients can share thoughts and feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on honest conversation and practical steps that fit each person's life. Delia listens closely to what matters most and helps people find workable ways forward.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods chosen to match a client's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice unhelpful thinking and on client-centered techniques to follow the client's lead. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and solution-focused strategies are used to build values-driven goals and short-term gains.

Delia emphasizes collaboration and clear, simple tools clients can use between sessions. She also works on communication patterns, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after infidelity. Her style is straightforward and supportive, highlighting small changes that add up.

Sessions are offered in Spanish as well as English, and she accepts international clients. People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing different responses to change mood and behavior. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's priorities and uses empathic listening to guide decisions and next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan together based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work as a team to identify practical steps and track what improves.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the commute so therapy can happen between work or family responsibilities. It can also let a person choose Spanish or English sessions without geographic limits, and licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered work to an online setting.
