About Lisa
Lisa Moranz helps people manage stress and anxiety and work through trauma and grief. She supports people facing depression, low self-esteem, addiction struggles, anger, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Lisa is a licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of therapy experience and practices from New York.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens for what matters to each person and uses practical tools to make daily life easier.
How Lisa works
Sessions focus on real problems and small steps that fit into busy schedules. Lisa draws from approaches that look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation.
For people with traumatic memories, she offers EMDR when it seems helpful. She often helps people sort out family and parenting stress, codependency, and communication problems. She also addresses deeper issues like attachment wounds, dissociation, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with life purpose.
Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and a subscription model is used, which can be canceled at any time. Sessions are provided in English and Lisa does not accept international clients.
To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a time based on the therapist's availability.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape how people connect and feel. Online sessions can use this work to identify patterns and practice new ways of relating in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. It is goal-oriented and works well through structured exercises during video or phone sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories; when appropriate, some EMDR techniques can be adapted for remote work with careful planning.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. Together they will try methods and adjust as needed so the work feels useful and doable.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills in real time. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people stay connected to care from wherever they are.
