About Alisa
Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, depression, and parenting concerns. She also addresses grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep problems, anger, and coping with life changes.
Alisa favors a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to address problems. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small, usable steps clients can try between meetings. She offers a steady, straightforward approach rather than long theoretical explanations.
Her background includes nearly two decades of clinical work in Texas. That experience has exposed her to a wide range of issues, including compassion fatigue, bipolar concerns, career stress, and communication problems. She also works with people facing blended family challenges, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric issues, and relationship ruptures such as infidelity and divorce or separation.
Sessions typically look at practical coping tools alongside reflection about values and life purpose. She helps people sort priorities, set manageable goals, and practice skills that reduce overwhelm. When trauma or post-traumatic stress is present, she addresses those histories while keeping the work focused and paced to the client’s readiness.
Alisa conducts sessions in English and accepts international clients. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Alisa works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. For example, structured problem-solving teaches clear steps to break down overwhelming tasks, test small changes, and track what works. This approach is useful for anxiety, stress, and managing daily responsibilities.Another common technique is behavioral activation, which helps people reconnect with meaningful activities. It involves planning small, doable actions that can lift mood and reduce avoidance, a helpful method for depression and low motivation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That plan can change over time based on what helps you most.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person visit is impractical. They also let people continue work during relocations or when managing caregiving responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like activity planning and problem-solving to work in virtual appointments, keeping the focus on practical skills and steady progress.
