About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. She supports individuals working through trauma and abuse, coping with grief, and addressing codependency and addictive patterns. Lisa meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps they can use day to day.
She uses a straightforward, person-focused style in sessions. Conversations focus on what is most pressing right now and on small changes that build momentum. Lisa encourages clients to notice their strengths and to practice new ways of responding to difficult feelings and situations.
Her approach blends several methods. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns, cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and techniques from mindfulness and skills-focused therapies to regulate emotion. For people with past trauma, she can incorporate trauma-processing methods when appropriate.
Lisa brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and has a background in the human services field. She aims to make therapy understandable and useful, avoiding jargon and focusing on clear goals. Sessions are aimed at helping clients feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better able to handle life’s changes.
Clients who want to begin are invited to take a practical first step and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling. Lisa practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.
How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication. Online sessions can use this approach to notice recurring interaction styles and practice new ways of relating with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting this often means setting small homework tasks, tracking moods, and practicing new skills between meetings. EMDR is a trauma-processing method that helps some people reduce the intensity of traumatic memories; when it is used, the therapist guides paced processing alongside other supports.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and together decide which methods to emphasize. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports consistent practice of skills between sessions and lets people meet with a licensed professional from wherever they are located in New York.
