About Lisa
Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety and supports those facing depression, mood swings, obsessive thoughts, and trauma. Her work centers on practical steps people can use between sessions.
She speaks English and practices from New York as an LCSW. In sessions she focuses on clear, honest conversation. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try small changes to see what works.
Background and approach
She uses methods that teach skills for handling strong emotions and breaking unhelpful thinking habits. Lisa draws on therapies that emphasize values, present-moment awareness, and practical thinking tools. She combines these with a client-centered stance - meaning she follows each person’s pace and goals rather than imposing a fixed plan.
This makes room for exploring feelings about past hurts when that matters. Her approach often includes tools for anxiety, compulsions, and trauma-related symptoms. She also helps people with relationship pain, self-esteem, grief, eating concerns, and managing impulses.
Conversations can include direct strategies and reflective work about patterns and meaning. Sessions aim to balance skill-building and personal insight. People leave with concrete steps to try between appointments, and the therapist checks in on what helped and what didn’t.
The focus is on steady progress rather than sudden fixes.
Approach, Methods, and Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and daily life, and together they will try methods that fit those needs. That means trying exercises, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan rather than committing to one method up front.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in; live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates, homework, or continuing a conversation between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or home routines while still using the therapeutic tools described above.
