About Lisa
Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, grief, relationship struggles, career strain, or life changes. Lisa aims to make therapy practical and approachable so clients can use new skills quickly.
She draws on ten years of experience working with adults and adolescents in individual counseling, parent guidance, family work, and groups.
How Lisa works
Sessions emphasize listening first, then building straightforward tools to manage emotions and daily demands. Lisa uses Client-Centered methods to follow the client's lead and create a respectful, nonjudgmental space. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is part of her approach and helps people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation and improve communication. Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to support stress reduction and focus. Lisa offers coaching around parenting concerns, communication problems, commitment worries, workplace stress, and the transitions that come in young adulthood and midlife.
She also helps with self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and coping after loss. The work is collaborative and goal-focused so progress can be tracked over time. Practical matters are part of the plan.
Lisa discusses options like skill-building exercises, short behavioral experiments, and check-ins between sessions when helpful. Her aim is to make therapy feel useful and doable for busy lives.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist creates a respectful, nonjudgmental space and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions to find small changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood. It often uses short exercises and real-world practice between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication, which can help with relationship and workplace stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and can adjust as progress is made. The process is collaborative and paced to match the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people connect face-to-face when schedules or distance make in-person visits harder. Phone sessions can be easier when video isn't an option or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, quick coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills between sessions.
