About Lisa
Lisa Valiente is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Illinois with seven years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Lisa focuses on practical ways to manage symptoms and navigate day-to-day pressures.
She uses conversation and evidence-informed techniques to help clients reduce distress and build coping skills. Sessions often include looking at patterns that keep problems repeating, trying out small behavior changes, and practicing skills for emotion regulation. Lisa also addresses issues like codependency, family of origin concerns, guilt and shame, isolation, and social anxiety.
Her approach blends Client-Centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. Motivational Interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform how she talks about motivation, meaning, and relationship patterns. The goal is to help people notice what’s keeping them stuck and try realistic changes.
Lisa aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on daily life. People can expect a mix of listening, reflective questions, and action-focused strategies they can use between meetings. She supports exploration of life purpose and self-acceptance alongside symptom relief.
Sessions are conducted in English and Lisa practices in Illinois as an LCSW. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and logistics before booking a first appointment.
BHow sessions work
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and clarify their goals. It’s useful for people who need a steady, respectful conversation about relationship struggles, life purpose, or self-worth.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and social phobia because it gives specific tools to practice outside sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with overwhelming emotions, codependency patterns, and social anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Lisa will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's needs and goals. She checks in about what is and isn’t working and adjusts plans over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about the exact format and scheduling details when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can fit into everyday life.
