About Alisa
Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and intimacy-related concerns. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviors, and sleep difficulties. Alisa also assists people facing career strain, anger, low self-esteem, and life transitions.
She offers a calm, straightforward presence that helps people take the next step when they feel stuck. Alisa believes the person in front of her knows their story best.
How Alisa works
She looks for practical strengths and small, doable changes that build confidence. Sessions focus on clear goals and tools that can be used between meetings. That approach aims to make progress feel real and measurable.
Her work includes helping people deal with parenting stress, caregiver strain, blended family issues, and divorce-related concerns. She also pays attention to challenges tied to aging, veterans and armed forces issues, prejudice and discrimination, and women’s issues. These topics often overlap, and she helps people sort priorities and set realistic next steps.
Alisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address post-traumatic stress, bipolar concerns, and compassion fatigue. She frames therapy as coaching when that fits, concentrating on life purpose, communication problems, forgiveness, and rebuilding trust after infidelity. Her approach is practical rather than abstract.
Sessions are offered in English and Alisa works with people across Texas and internationally. She uses a collaborative, respectful style and encourages clients to voice what they need from therapy.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and skill-building. One approach emphasizes identifying realistic goals and breaking them into small steps that fit daily life; this helps with depression, motivation, and low self-esteem. Another approach centers on coping skills for stress, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms, teaching breathing, grounding, and behavioral strategies to reduce overwhelm.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking in on how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a busy schedule or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging lets people check in between meetings or use shorter, focused exchanges during a work break. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
