About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, stress, and major life changes. She takes a steady, practical approach and focuses on small, usable steps that feel sustainable. Her style is calm and collaborative, aiming to help people feel more connected to themselves and clearer about next steps.
Leong draws on several evidence-based methods to tailor sessions to each person's needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people align actions with values, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also incorporates client-centered and narrative elements to honor each person's story and strengths. Sessions emphasize concrete tools and real-world practice. Clients work on skills for managing panic, reducing avoidance, improving communication, and building self-compassion.
Progress is steady and measurable, with techniques adapted as needs change. With eight years of clinical experience, Leong has supported people through grief, relationship difficulties, workplace stress, parenting strain, trauma, and mood instability such as bipolar challenges. Her background includes working with concerns around attachment, codependency, caregiver stress, and aging-related issues.
She provides care in English and practices in Texas. Work is collaborative - she meets people where they are and helps them pick strategies that fit their life and goals.
Approaches that guide online work and growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match those values, even when uncomfortable feelings arise. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s own goals and insights drive the work.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques based on needs, goals, and what feels doable. Sessions are adapted over time so tools change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a work break or low-bandwidth situation, and live chat or text messaging can provide brief check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills in daily life and maintain continuity when schedules are busy.
