About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and draws on a long career across clinical and teaching roles to support people facing difficult life moments. She describes a straightforward way of beginning work together: first by asking questions to understand what brings someone to therapy.
Next she listens to personal history, current symptoms, relationships, strengths, and goals.
Background and approach
From there she and the person map out practical next steps and an agreed plan. Her background includes hospital, community, and academic settings, and she has taught at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College as an adjunct professor. That mix of clinical practice and teaching informs a calm, measured style in sessions.
Lisa uses several well-known therapeutic approaches to match each person’s needs, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She applies these methods to common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, and ADHD-related symptoms.
Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps, such as coping skills, communication strategies, and ways to reconnect with values and priorities. Lisa aims to collaborate on goals so progress feels meaningful and relevant to daily life.

Online support
How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Lisa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behavior patterns, which is useful for depression, anxiety, and many stress-related concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa begins by asking about symptoms, history, relationships, and goals, and then discusses which methods feel most useful. She adjusts the plan as goals change so the work stays relevant to the person’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or people who prefer written communication. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different daily routines.
