Lisa Carnicelli, LMHC

Lisa Carnicelli is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, and questions about identity and intimacy.

She uses straightforward, conversation-based sessions to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions often focus on practical steps to reduce overwhelming feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Lisa draws on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice thought patterns and try different ways of responding.

In her background she has provided counseling in nonprofit, private practice, higher education, and community settings. That range has shaped an approach that balances problem-solving with attention to feelings. She helps people work through family problems, blended family issues, divorce and separation stresses, and challenges around commitment and communication.

Common topics she addresses include parenting strain, abandonment concerns, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, panic attacks, phobias, seasonal mood changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions may also focus on career stress, self-esteem, and building self-love after difficult experiences.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Clients set goals and try concrete strategies between sessions. She guides people through coping with life changes, grief, and relationship repair while offering coaching-style tools when helpful.
