About Lisa

Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions with steady, practical support. She brings an approachable, collaborative stance that emphasizes developing sustainable tools tailored to each person’s situation.

Background and approach

Her work commonly addresses concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, parenting and caregiving stress, trauma and abuse, and workplace or career pressures. With eight years of clinical experience across a variety of emotional and interpersonal issues, Lisa draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered techniques.

She aims to help clients build clarity, strengthen coping skills, and feel more grounded in the life they want to create. Sessions focus on identifying practical strategies, exploring personal values and narratives, and pacing change in ways that fit each individual’s history and strengths.

Lisa holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices from Texas. Her approach balances empathy with actionable steps, meeting clients where they are and maintaining a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship as they work toward clearer goals and greater resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Lisa commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood, offering concrete exercises and skill practice that translate well to remote sessions. ACT emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning acceptance strategies to move toward a meaningful life, which can help with grief, identity concerns, and chronic stress.

Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. She partners with clients to explore which methods align with their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable rather than prescriptive.

Online therapy lets clients access this collaborative care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for busy schedules and for people who prefer shorter, more frequent check-ins or the convenience of meeting from home. Licensed professionals can use these options to tailor session rhythm and therapeutic tools to each person’s needs, making it easier to maintain consistent momentum between sessions.
