Background and approach
The work is collaborative and goal-oriented, with room to address forgiveness and self-love as part of healing. Her background includes three decades of clinical practice in New York as an LCSW. That experience is used to help people adapt to major life changes and repair relationship patterns that cause ongoing stress.
She draws on methods that have been shown to help with anxiety and panic symptoms while tailoring them to the individual. In therapy people can expect straightforward tools and steady support for practicing new habits between sessions. Lisa emphasizes clear, achievable steps and talks through how to handle setbacks.
The focus is on practical progress rather than quick fixes. Appointments can include talks about coping plans, parenting strains, or discovering meaningful next steps in life. Sessions are paced to match what each person needs, with attention to building long-term resilience and healthier daily routines.
Evidence-based approaches and online options
Many of the methods used in her work focus on practical, evidence-based techniques that help reduce anxiety and manage panic. One common approach teaches people how to recognize and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors so anxiety has less influence on daily life. This approach is useful for social anxiety, general worry, and improving self-esteem.Another core method involves skill-building for coping and regulation. These techniques show people how to calm their body during panic attacks, develop step-by-step exposure to feared situations, and practice small changes that build confidence over time. This helps with panic disorder, social phobia, and stress management.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life demands. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options add flexibility so therapy can fit into a busy life.
