About Lisa
Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief, or major life changes. Lisa aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through their concerns and begin to feel steadier.
Her background spans nonprofit work, independent practice, and community settings, where she supported people facing trauma, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, and issues around intimacy.
How Lisa works
She draws on several practical approaches to help people recognize patterns and try new ways of coping. In sessions she focuses on clear goals and straightforward tools. She uses techniques that help change unhelpful thoughts, repair emotional connection, and build present-moment awareness.
Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and gentle reflection. Lisa tailors the pace and style to each person. Some people work on managing panic and phobias, others tackle communication or commitment issues, and some aim to recover from loss or burnout.
She also supports those dealing with identity questions, career stress, or feelings of emptiness. Clients can expect a collaborative, respectful process that balances listening with practical steps. The work is grounded in everyday language and small, achievable changes that add up over time.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening carefully to what matters to the person and building on their strengths. It helps when someone needs understanding and a nonjudgmental place to sort out feelings and decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers clear exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and change unhelpful behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and shift emotional responses in close relationships. It can be useful for repairing connection, improving communication, and addressing intimacy-related concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let therapists and clients see facial cues and do deeper work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier on days when being on camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep momentum between sessions.Start online instead of waiting
