    About Lisa

    Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and loss. She supports clients working through relationship and intimacy worries, addiction concerns, parenting strain, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation. Lisa speaks English and brings 12 years of therapy experience to sessions.

    Her approach is practical and collaborative. She treats the person, not just the problem, and uses clear, straightforward techniques. Sessions focus on building internal motivation, improving coping skills, and strengthening emotional awareness. Lisa draws on motivational interviewing, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive-behavioral tools to tailor work to each person’s needs.

    Clients might do reflective conversation, skill practice, and small experiments between sessions. She often helps people spot patterns in relationships, manage mood shifts, and handle overwhelming feelings with grounded strategies. Homework is simple and aimed at real-life changes rather than theory.

    Lisa’s background includes long-term work in human services and a decade-plus in clinical practice. Her experience includes supporting people through grief, compassion fatigue, bipolar and mood concerns, and post-traumatic stress challenges. She pays attention to attachment issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.

    If someone wants to begin, Lisa asks for a short intake to match goals and schedule. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

  2. How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

    Motivational Interviewing helps people find and strengthen their own reasons to change. It uses conversational techniques to clarify goals and boost internal motivation for steps that feel manageable.

    Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this approach helps people recognize connection styles and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It breaks problems into small parts and teaches practical skills for mood, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and pace. That may mean combining elements from different approaches as needs evolve.

    Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. It also offers ways to continue work between in-person visits when schedules change.
