About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who focuses on anxiety and stress. She helps people manage overwhelming feelings and steady their daily routines. Her work includes supporting people after trauma, loss, or major life changes.
She uses a straightforward style in sessions. Conversations are collaborative and centered on what matters to the individual. She listens for strengths and builds practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Lisa often draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current worries and connection patterns. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. For people coping with intense stress or recurring painful memories, she may incorporate EMDR-informed strategies and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Sessions typically focus on real-life problems such as parenting strain, relationship communication, work-related stress, addiction concerns, and mood shifts. She also addresses issues like isolation, guilt, and the search for life purpose in clear, manageable ways. With twelve years of clinical experience, Lisa brings practical know-how rather than jargon.
She aims to make therapy feel doable for busy lives. People who want steady progress and concrete tools often find this approach helpful.
How these approaches work online
Attachment-based therapy pays attention to how early connection patterns affect present relationships. Online sessions can use talk and reflection to spot repeating patterns and try new ways of connecting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. Over video or messaging, clients learn practical tools to reduce anxiety and shift daily routines.EMDR-informed work can help people struggling with traumatic memories by using structured processing and guided attention. That can be adapted to online formats with pacing and clear preparation so clients feel supported throughout the process. Together, these methods aim to reduce overwhelming symptoms and build coping skills tailored to the person.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and the specific concerns brought to sessions, then try methods that fit. This may mean blending attachment ideas, CBT skills, and EMDR-informed steps over several sessions until a workable plan emerges.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let therapists observe expressions and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick reflections, tracking progress, or staying connected between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied daily needs.
