About Lisa

Lisa Parise is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and holds LCSW licensure. She has practiced for 15 years and focuses on addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and coping with life changes.

She offers straightforward, practical work that centers on what a person needs now. Sessions tend to focus on identifying problems, building concrete skills, and making manageable changes. Lisa uses talk-based methods alongside mindfulness and body-informed techniques listed in her background.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to address mood, anxiety, and coping skills.

Lisa has a clinical social work master’s degree and clinical licensure. Her experience includes working with people facing substance use concerns, mood disorders, trauma symptoms, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues such as body image, gender dysphoria, and family of origin problems.

BHow sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions can be used to identify repeating relationship themes and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s goals and experience, allowing conversations to guide what is worked on in each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, behaviors, and feelings and teaches concrete skills to change patterns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist reviews a person’s concerns, goals, and preferences to decide which methods to use. Plans can shift over time based on what helps most in practice.

Confirm the specific session formats offered before booking, since session delivery details are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins or video sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving. It can also allow for consistent weekly practice of skills such as mindfulness exercises or DBT techniques without adding long travel time.
