About Artrevisa

Artrevisa Payton is a licensed clinical social worker in Texas with 10 years of practice experience. She holds AL LICSW and TX LCSW credentials. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, career questions, and life purpose.

Payton uses a conversational, relaxed style in sessions. She listens first and then helps people set concrete goals. She often brings in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to shape practical steps and new ways of thinking.

Mindfulness and Client-Centered Therapy also inform her approach. That means sessions can include attention to present-moment experience and a focus on each person’s perspective. She aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, manageable changes.

Her background includes work in long-term care and outpatient settings. That experience includes supporting people with aging and geriatric issues, Alzheimer’s and dementia contexts, and hospice and end-of-life counseling. She has worked with concerns related to family problems, communication, forgiveness, and isolation.

Sessions typically involve straightforward conversation, skill practice, and collaborative planning. Payton uses motivational interviewing strategies to clarify values and next steps when people feel uncertain about decisions. She asks about practical barriers and works on approaches that fit daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s perspective. The therapist listens closely and follows what the client brings to each session, helping people speak through concerns and identify priorities for change. This approach is helpful for people who need a space to be heard and to clarify what matters to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Sessions using CBT look at specific thought patterns and practical skills to test new behaviors. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by producing small experiments people can try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday constraints and then recommend which approaches to use. That decision is collaborative and may shift over time as needs change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is hard to schedule. In conversations online, this therapist uses conversational, practical strategies such as motivational interviewing prompts, mindfulness exercises, and CBT-based homework to help move toward clearer next steps.
