About Lisa

Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and life changes. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Lisa focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life and the demands parents and working adults face.

She draws on ten years of experience in individual counseling, parent guidance, and group work. Sessions often include skills for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with grief or depressed mood.

Background and approach

Lisa uses mindfulness and problem-focused techniques to build small, repeatable habits that reduce stress over time. Lisa also supports people dealing with relationship concerns, intimacy-related issues, commitment doubts, and workplace stress. She helps young adults navigate transitions and assists people facing midlife shifts or questions about personal priorities.

Her approach is interactive and client-centered - clients set the pace and goals. In sessions she may introduce cognitive-behavioral strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking, dialectical-behavior methods to manage intense feelings, and motivational interviewing to clarify values and next steps. Interventions are offered in clear, simple language and tailored to real-life schedules.

People who meet with Lisa typically leave with concrete tools to try between sessions. She encourages steady progress through small changes and regular check-ins. Her aim is to make therapy a useful, manageable part of a busy life.

Online support

Practical online approaches that fit your day

Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and building a trusting working relationship. It’s about listening first, then shaping sessions around the goals the client brings, whether that means parenting support or managing stress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It helps people test and change unhelpful thinking, set small goals, and practice new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and getting needs met in relationships. These tools can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or when communication repeatedly breaks down.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on how the client responds and what fits their life and goals.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is not ideal, and live chat or text messaging for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit sessions into busy days, keep momentum between meetings, and use the format that helps someone stick with the work.
