About Lisa

Lisa Leibowitz offers supportive, client-centered care for adults navigating stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, grief, career questions, and other life transitions. She meets clients where they are and helps them build practical skills for coping, communication, and self-care.

Background and approach

Lisa takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to prioritize what feels most important and achievable in therapy. Her practice emphasizes evidence-informed interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), along with mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques.

These approaches are used alongside empathic listening and coaching to develop tools for managing emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and restoring a sense of balance. She has experience with individual work, parent guidance, family therapy, and groups.

Lisa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut and brings ten years of clinical experience to her practice. She draws on her training in psychology and social work to create an interactive, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore challenges, practice new skills, and pursue meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. It tends to be practical and skills-focused, helping clients learn tools they can apply between sessions.

Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially useful for managing intense feelings, improving communication, and navigating relationship or family challenges.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to select approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process means methods can be blended or adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are impractical.
