About Wildelia
Dr. Wildelia "Delia" Santiago helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of experience.
Delia speaks Spanish and works with individuals who are navigating relationship strains, trauma, mood concerns, and coping challenges. Her approach is straightforward and warm. She creates space for people to talk about difficult thoughts and feelings without judgment.
Sessions focus on practical steps that fit into daily life, not abstract theory.
How Wildelia works
Delia blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral techniques help identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports valued direction and coping with painful emotions.
Solution-focused work looks for small, achievable shifts that build momentum. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior and client-centered work to help with emotional regulation and stronger self-understanding. That means learning tools for managing intense feelings and practicing clearer communication.
People who come for help might be dealing with relationship conflict, family stress, past abuse, anger, bipolar mood swings, or feelings of emptiness and shame. Delia supports exploration of attachment concerns, codependency, abandonment fears, and issues like infidelity or separation. Her sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a time that works for them.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that align with those values. It teaches skills for tolerating difficult feelings while moving toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms through concrete exercises and practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together until it feels useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can fit into busy days and let people send brief updates between longer sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to use therapy tools in real life.
