    About Lisa

    Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, and life transitions. She supports clients dealing with low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, grief, career challenges, and issues around intimacy and commitment. Lisa draws on a warm, client-centered style to make space for what matters most to each person.

    She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage difficult emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness practices are offered to build attention and reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is part of her approach when people are weighing big decisions or trying to build lasting habits.

    Lisa earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. She has about 10 years of experience in individual counseling with adults and adolescents, plus work with parents, families, and groups. Her background shapes a down-to-earth way of working that values collaboration and clear goals.

    In sessions she listens without judgment and coaches toward practical changes. Typical work may include short skill-building exercises, thought and behavior tracking, and mindful attention practices. She helps people find better balance, cope with burnout, and strengthen communication and problem solving.

    Lisa aims to tailor each plan to the person in front of her. She asks clients what matters most, sets realistic steps, and checks in on progress so the work stays useful and relevant.

  2. How these approaches work online

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead so goals come from what matters most to them. This helps when you're feeling overwhelmed and need a therapist who will hear your priorities and pace the work accordingly.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple exercises to change patterns. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and shift everyday habits.

    Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that supports people who are uncertain about change. It helps clarify personal reasons for change and builds commitment in small, manageable steps.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with you to decide which methods fit your needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

    Session logistics vary by therapist and are not specified in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when life is hectic. It also lets people use tools and worksheets together during a session, which can speed up learning and practice between meetings.
