Artrevisa Payton, LICSW, LCSW

Artrevisa Payton is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and practices in Texas. She uses a relaxed, conversational style to help people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She commonly helps people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes, grief, career concerns, relationship and family problems, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes work in long-term care and outpatient settings with adult and geriatric populations.

Artrevisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide sessions. She listens first, then helps people set small, achievable steps toward their goals. Sessions focus on practical strategies people can try between meetings.

Mindfulness and motivational techniques often appear in her work to help people notice patterns and stay motivated for change. She aims to create a calm atmosphere where people can talk through fears and doubts without feeling judged. Her approach balances empathy with concrete tools.

People who prefer a straightforward, down-to-earth clinician may find her style a good fit. She encourages gradual progress and validates the feelings that come with difficult moments. The first step is a short conversation to see what matters most and what to try next.

How Artrevisa’s approaches work online

Artrevisa works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can improve mood and reduce anxiety. CBT is practical and often focuses on what to do between sessions to build momentum.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can discover their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through emotions and choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Artrevisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts her plan as people try things and give feedback.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text are helpful for brief check-ins, immediate coping tools, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches described above in ways that suit the person.
