About Lisa

Lisa Belshaw is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes practical steps and steady support so people can feel more capable day to day. Her manner is warm and nonjudgmental, and she focuses on helping each person build confidence and clearer communication skills.

Lisa uses approaches that center the person and their goals.

Background and approach

She often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and mindfulness practices to address unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative work when people want to change habits or rethink personal stories that hold them back. In sessions she works with clients to set small, achievable goals and track progress over time.

Conversations may focus on managing cravings, reducing anxiety, improving how someone speaks up in relationships, or strengthening self-love and daily routines. Sessions move at a practical pace so people leave with tools to try between meetings. Lisa has worked in clinical settings for 13 years and brings that experience to each week of work.

She aims to tailor interventions to what feels useful and realistic for each person. Many clients find the mix of structured tools and open conversation helps them make steady gains. Care is offered in English via video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

People begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their needs.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their goals, offering an accepting space where the therapist follows the client's priorities and helps them set practical steps to improve daily life. This style supports work on relationship communication, self-esteem, and general stress management.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors because clients learn tools they can practice between sessions.

Mindfulness therapy teaches attention skills and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions. It often helps people notice triggers, calm down more quickly, and stay present during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people keep visual connection when that is important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone prefers not to be on video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work even when schedules shift.
