About Lisa
Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience in mental health care. She practices from New York and offers approachable, practical support for people coping with anxiety, depression, and intense mood shifts. Lisa writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to each person.
She helps people manage stress, trauma, obsessive thoughts, and struggles with self-worth. She also addresses addiction, eating concerns, and the fallout from grief or abandonment.
How Lisa works
Her work includes attention to relationship patterns, communication problems, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT concerns. Lisa draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor the work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits.
Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people settle intense emotions and make values-based choices. Dialectical skills are used to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming. In sessions she aims for clear goals and real skills people can use between meetings.
She values straightforward conversation, practical exercises, and steady pacing so progress feels manageable. Lisa invites people to set the agenda and keeps therapy collaborative. Her decade of practice means she is familiar with complex and layered problems.
She balances attention to immediate symptoms with exploration of deeper patterns, including attachment and identity issues. People who want a direct, skills-oriented approach with room for deeper reflection often find her style helpful.

Online support options
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or emotions. It is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and obsessive thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for when emotions feel intense or reactive.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss options in early sessions and tailor methods to the individual's goals and preferences. The process is collaborative and adjustments are made as needs change over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging gives shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the same therapeutic methods practiced in person.
