Lisa Leibowitz

Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and women's issues. She meets individuals where they are and takes a calm, practical approach to everyday concerns like work strain, relationship tension, and low self-esteem.

She earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. Over a decade of clinical work includes individual counseling with adults and adolescents, parent guidance, family work, and group facilitation.

Lisa often supports clients coping with life changes, grief, and burnout after the disruptions of the pandemic. She uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness and motivational interviewing to build coping skills and reduce overwhelming feelings.

Sessions emphasize practical skills - pacing self-care, managing strong emotions, improving communication, and finding realistic ways to support children. She follows the client's lead, offering coaching and listening in a nonjudgmental way while proposing strategies that fit daily life.

Her work also covers career concerns, intimacy-related issues, and midlife transitions. People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth clinician who focuses on what helps now may find her approach matches their needs.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care

Client-Centered Therapy is about following the person's lead, listening carefully, and shaping sessions around what matters most. Online work lets the therapist and client decide together which goals get attention and how each session will be paced.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and difficulties managing day-to-day routines, and can include homework like tracking thoughts or testing new behaviors.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Short skill-focused exercises and mindfulness practices work well in remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work collaboratively to select methods that match the client's needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking if you need a particular format. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people join from quieter settings. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency with the work between sessions.
