About Lisa
Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 10 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, family issues, grief, intimacy-related questions, career difficulties, and depression.
Lisa offers practical, down-to-earth talking and coaching. She listens without judgement and helps people find manageable steps. Sessions focus on solving immediate problems and building skills to reduce worry and overwhelm at home.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. She has experience in individual counseling, parent guidance, family work, and group settings. That mix informs a straightforward style that combines conversation with practical strategies.
She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are used to help manage strong emotions and increase present-moment calm. Motivational Interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people set realistic goals and make gradual changes.
Many parents seek her help when children’s school or social changes add pressure at home. Lisa also helps adults coping with grief, workplace stress, midlife questions, communication problems, commitment concerns, and issues common to young adults. She works collaboratively to decide what makes the most sense for each person.
How sessions work
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that worsen stress and low mood. CBT breaks problems into clear pieces and teaches skills for testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness exercises to teach emotional regulation and attention training. DBT skills are practical steps for managing strong feelings and improving communication. Mindfulness practices offer simple ways to reduce reactivity and increase calm in daily life.
Deciding which approach to emphasize is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, day-to-day challenges, and preferences. They try strategies, adjust what isn't working, and keep the focus on small, doable changes that fit the person’s life.
