About Lisa
Lisa Levin, LCSW, helps people who are carrying heavy stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or addictions find clearer ways forward. She listens for what matters most to each person and focuses on practical steps that reduce suffering and increase daily functioning. She uses a mix of proven therapy methods to match a person’s needs.
That can mean learning new coping skills, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, or working on painful memories so they feel less disruptive.
Background and approach
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the approaches she uses when appropriate. With two decades of experience, she brings a wide lens to problems like grief, relationship struggles, codependency, body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment. She also addresses the harm caused by discrimination and microaggressions and supports people processing those wounds.
Lived context and individual differences shape treatment choices. Lisa adapts techniques such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive and skills-based strategies, and attachment-focused thinking to fit each person’s situation. The aim is to reduce distress and help people build more satisfying daily routines.
Sessions can include talking, skills practice, and focused memory processing when it fits the goals. Many people come to learn steady ways to manage strong emotions, rebuild self-esteem, or change patterns that disrupt relationships and life goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take small, committed steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and situations that feel stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it tends to work well for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for relationship issues, self-esteem problems, and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as progress is made. That collaborative process helps people try different tools and keep what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth or camera use is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules and to maintain continuity when life gets busy.
