About Lisa
Lisa Amarant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California with 15 years of experience in community mental health. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and bipolar disorder. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals so day-to-day life can feel more manageable.
Her approach blends several evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices support tolerance of difficult feelings while clarifying personal values.
She also uses client-centered techniques and motivational interviewing to build momentum and strengthen motivation for change. Narrative methods help people reframe stories that keep them stuck. Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented rather than academic.
Lisa draws on fifteen years working in community settings, where she supported people facing complex stressors and mood challenges. That experience informs a straightforward style that balances practical skills with reflective work. She will help clients set realistic, measurable goals and track progress over time.
People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and searching for life purpose. Lisa works on social anxiety and phobia, forgiveness, and building self-love through small, repeatable practices.

BHow sessions work
How ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting hard emotions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life-direction questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often involves simple at-home exercises and tracking patterns between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s perspective. The therapist reflects and supports people as they find their own solutions and make decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That choice can be adjusted over time based on what is working.
