About Lisa
Lisa Amarant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical steps to reduce stress and anxiety while helping people rebuild confidence and manage mood changes. Lisa speaks plainly in sessions and treats each person with respect and empathy.
Her approach blends hands-on strategies with listening. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas and mindfulness to help people notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed. Lisa has worked in community mental health settings for many years. That experience shaped her direct style and ability to support people dealing with depression, bipolar mood changes, anger, and low self-esteem.
She pays attention to problems like social anxiety, isolation, guilt, and trouble with control or forgiveness. In sessions she balances empathy with gentle challenge. Conversations move from understanding what’s happening now to small, doable steps that build confidence.
She helps people set clear goals and tracks progress in ways that fit daily life. She offers a range of formats for remote work, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Lisa encourages anyone who feels stuck to take the next step and try a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling sessions.
How Lisa combines proven approaches with online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult feelings while taking actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and finding direction when worries or mood swings get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is often used for stress, panic, social anxiety, and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with anger, rumination, and overwhelming emotions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their goals and preferences. Together they set small, measurable steps and adjust methods based on what helps most over time.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction from home, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows short check-ins during a busy day, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while staying consistent with treatment.
