Lisa takes time to build a trusting relationship. She listens first, then helps clients set small, realistic goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings and clear ways to handle difficult moments.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her tailor sessions to the person in front of her - from thought work and behavior changes to emotion-focused conversations and short-term problem solving. People come to Lisa for panic and phobias, low self-esteem, burnout and compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy questions, and parenting concerns.
She also supports folks dealing with trauma, abandonment, blended family issues, and life transitions. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisa speaks English and practices in New York as an LMHC.
She helps clients break problems into manageable steps and build habits that last.
How Lisa’s Approach Translates to Online Therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people feel heard so they can explore difficult emotions and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for panic attacks, phobias, and everyday stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and process strong emotions and improve connection in relationships by naming feelings and responding differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Lisa will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. Together they decide whether to focus on thought work, emotion processing, mindfulness practice, or short-term solutions and can adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and emotional work, phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or lower bandwidth needs, and live chat or text messaging support brief check-ins and skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use new skills in real life.
