About Lisa
Lisa Levin, LCSW, focuses on helping people reduce anxiety, stress, and the impact of trauma so they can feel more in control. She works with adults who struggle with addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship strain, guiding practical steps toward relief. She takes a direct, flexible approach in sessions.
Lisa draws on methods such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and attachment-informed work to address patterns that keep people stuck.
Background and approach
She also uses elements from dialectical behavior therapy to help manage intense emotions. With twenty years of experience, Lisa has worked in varied settings, including time overseas. That background informs a practical style that values what helps each person make progress.
She avoids one-size-fits-all solutions and adapts tools to fit individual needs. Lisa pays attention to how discrimination, microaggressions, and social injustice affect mental health. She supports people from diverse backgrounds and those in LGBTQIA+ communities who are coping with the harms of bias and exclusion.
Sessions combine talk-based problem solving with concrete skills practice. Lisa helps people notice unhelpful patterns, test new behaviors, and build routines that support emotional balance. Her goal is to reduce suffering and increase the chances of a more satisfying life.
Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are arranged directly with clients. Lisa aims to match therapy to each person’s life circumstances and goals.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it works well for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and helps people develop safer ways of relating and regulating emotion, which can help with relationship strain and lingering effects of early hurt.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked in the past. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill demonstrations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
