About Lisa

Lisa McCann is a licensed social worker practicing in New Hampshire with LICSW and LCSW credentials and six years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She draws on a strengths-based perspective, meeting clients where they are and helping them build on existing resources to address issues like trauma, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Her approach treats clients as the experts of their own stories while offering guidance and structure to navigate change.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration and empowerment, supporting people as they take steps toward greater well-being and more satisfying relationships. Lisa has worked with a wide range of family and interpersonal concerns, including attachment and adoption issues, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, and substance-related struggles.

She integrates practical skills and goal-oriented strategies to help clients manage stress, impulsivity, isolation, and life transitions. Therapy sessions focus on building coping skills, clarifying values and goals, and developing concrete plans for change.

Lisa frames the therapeutic process as a partnership aimed at helping clients discover and use their strengths to create meaningful, lasting improvements in daily life.

How Lisa’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients examine and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy informs her respectful, nonjudgmental stance, offering support that honors each person’s perspective while encouraging self-directed growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes emotion regulation and interpersonal skills that can be especially useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication.

Finding the right combination of approaches is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to identify goals, try techniques that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time so that the work aligns with the client’s preferences and progress.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. This range of formats makes it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice new skills between sessions, and access therapy from home or other convenient locations, while preserving the collaborative, skills-focused orientation of her practice.
