About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with eight years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, grief, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Sessions are practical and steady, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day demands and find clearer ways to cope.
Lisa uses straightforward tools rather than jargon. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment ideas and client-centered listening. That means sessions can include skills practice, values-focused planning, and time to talk through difficult feelings. The focus is on skills that fit into everyday life so gains last beyond the session.
She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and narrative approaches when they fit the problem. Those methods help with emotion regulation, communication patterns, and understanding personal stories that shape current behavior. Lisa pays attention to how past experiences influence present decisions and relationships.
Her work often includes help with family-related stress, caregiving burden, and communication problems. She addresses issues such as codependency, abandonment concerns, commitment difficulties, and the emotional fallout of divorce or separation. Parenting strain and intimacy-related concerns are also common topics.
Clients can expect a collaborative style. Lisa aims to set clear, manageable goals and track progress over time. She helps people try small changes, notice what works, and adjust approaches as needed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, workable steps toward those values while living with difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying practical experiments to change behavior and mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, validation, and collaborative goal setting so clients can guide what feels most important to address.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you pick methods that match your goals, preferences, and the issues you bring. That choice can shift over time as you try different strategies and notice what helps.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list them. In practice, online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to continue work through life changes or caregiving responsibilities by offering more flexible scheduling options.
