About Lisa

Lisa Butrymowicz is a Florida licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of practice who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns including bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans around the individual’s needs. Clients can expect a collaborative process that emphasizes empowerment and practical steps toward more satisfying daily life.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-oriented and attachment-informed methods to address emotional patterns, communication challenges, and coping skills. Lisa adapts strategies to the situation at hand, balancing problem-focused tools with an understanding of personal history and relational dynamics.

She aims to create an environment where taking the first steps toward change feels manageable and supported.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, often through practical exercises and skill-building. ACT emphasizes values-driven action and mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings to increase psychological flexibility and help people pursue meaningful goals.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relational experiences shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses, which can be helpful for addressing communication problems and attachment concerns. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjusts methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, access consistent support when travel or distance is a factor, and continue work between meetings through messaging and brief check-ins.
