About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress at work, low self-esteem, or relationship tensions. Her style is steady and collaborative, aimed at small, sustainable changes that add up over time.
She uses plain, doable tools rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what is useful in daily life - coping strategies for panic or worry, clearer communication patterns, and ways to manage perfectionism and people-pleasing. Lisa emphasizes building clarity and confidence so clients can handle future challenges more easily.
Her background includes eight years of clinical work as an LCSW and LICSW, with experience in issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing major life changes, career stress, and identity questions. Lisa draws on several therapeutic approaches to shape sessions around each person's needs.
In therapy she stays steady through difficult moments and keeps the work collaborative. Clients can expect conversations that balance validation with action steps. The aim is to help people feel more connected to themselves and better able to make choices that match their values.
Over time the focus often shifts from short-term relief to longer-term patterns. That might mean learning new ways to set boundaries, address codependent habits, or manage intense emotions. Lisa helps clients find tools that fit their routine and goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that move a person toward those values. It can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and listening carefully to what matters to each person, helping them find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help figure out what fits based on the client's goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about techniques and focus are made together so the plan feels useful and realistic.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel time, letting someone join from a quieter spot, or choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises so tools transfer into everyday routines and help people practice skills between appointments.
