About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of practice. She works with adults around stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, grief, depression, parenting, and related concerns. Lisa is bilingual in English and Spanish and practices from New York.
She trained at Antioch University for her bachelor’s degree and earned her master’s at New York University. For the last nine years she has taught as an adjunct professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work and is beginning a doctoral candidacy. Her background includes work in multiple settings and with many presenting problems over a long career.
In a first meeting she asks focused questions about current struggles, history, relationships, and sources of strength. She uses that information to co-create a plan that addresses the concerns you name as most urgent. Sessions include discussion of goals, practical next steps, and therapeutic methods that could help.
Her approach draws from several evidence-based methods. She commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques. These are used to address symptoms, manage emotions, and improve everyday functioning.
People who contact her can expect a direct, conversational style. She invites questions about how therapy will work and what to expect from early sessions. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and committing to actions that reflect personal values. It can help when worry or avoidance keeps you from the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships to improve connection and communication.Finding which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will review your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between commitments. Therapists and licensed professionals often adjust pacing, in-session exercises, and homework to fit remote work, aiming to keep sessions practical and focused on the issues you bring.
