About Lisa
Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with adults and adolescents on common life stresses such as anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship and family problems, grief, and career concerns.
She draws on straightforward, practical methods. Sessions include listening, coaching, and skills practice using Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. Lisa focuses on helping people manage stress, improve communication, and find more balance in daily life.
She has worked in individual counseling, parent guidance, family work, and group settings. Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. Those experiences shaped a down-to-earth style that prioritizes what matters most to each person in front of her.
Typical sessions involve identifying practical steps to reduce overwhelm. That might mean learning emotion regulation skills from DBT, testing thoughts and behaviors with CBT, or practicing simple mindfulness exercises to steady attention. Lisa also helps parents develop concrete strategies to support their children and to manage household stress.
She aims to work collaboratively so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. The focus is on manageable changes that fit into everyday life rather than abstract goals. Lisa lives in Connecticut with her family and uses her clinical experience to address both immediate coping needs and longer-term concerns.
BHow sessions work
How Lisa uses therapy approaches online
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in session. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into small steps you can change, which helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. DBT teaches concrete emotion regulation and interpersonal skills for handling strong feelings and communication problems.She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy by following the client's priorities and using motivational interviewing techniques to clarify goals. Choosing the best approach is collaborative - she will help you decide which methods to try based on your needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust as you progress.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as they are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with Lisa about what will fit your routine and whether video or phone meetings, or other options, work better for you so sessions support everyday life.
