About Lisa

Lisa Gore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with ten years of experience. She works with adults on everyday pressures like relationships, family tension, career struggles, anxiety, and depression. She also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, anger, ADHD, intimacy issues, and life transitions.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on current problems and concrete steps clients can try between sessions. She listens for patterns that affect mood and relationships, then helps clients test new ways of handling stress and conflict.

Lisa adapts the pace and topics to each person. Some sessions focus on managing anxiety or depression symptoms. Others look at communication skills for relationship or family problems. Career coaching topics include motivation and workplace stress.

When trauma or grief is present, she works carefully to reduce overwhelm and build coping skills. With ADHD-related concerns the emphasis is on planning, organization, and strategies that make daily life more manageable. Sessions mix talk, practical planning, and skill practice.

Clients who prefer clear goals and measurable progress will find her style direct and task-oriented. She asks about daily routines and responsibilities to make suggestions that fit real life. To start, prospective clients are encouraged to confirm session options before booking.

BHow sessions work

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online

Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then practices new responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for worry, depression, and stress that interfere with daily life.

Another approach concentrates on skill-building for relationships and daily functioning. Sessions work on communication, planning, and organizational strategies that make work and family life easier. For trauma and grief, the work begins with stabilizing coping skills and gradual processing to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That selection can change over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing logistics early helps tailor sessions to work around work, parenting, and other everyday responsibilities.
