About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She was born and raised in New York and brings a bilingual, bicultural perspective to sessions, offering work in both English and Spanish. Lisa frames the first meetings around listening and understanding what brought a person to therapy.
She begins by asking clear, practical questions about current struggles and personal history. Lisa uses that information to map strengths, relationships, and goals. Together with the client she outlines next steps and a treatment plan that focuses on the issues the client finds most pressing.
Her practice addresses many life challenges including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also works with people facing parenting strain, career transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, body image and eating concerns, ADHD-related symptoms, and codependency. Lisa draws on multiple approaches to meet the needs of each person.
In session she aims for a collaborative tone. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and offers practical tools and skills to use between meetings. The work often mixes talking about painful memories with learning specific ways to manage overwhelming feelings and improve relationships.
Lisa also brings teaching experience from higher education into her clinical work. That background influences how she explains ideas and offers exercises so they are easy to try in daily life. She invites questions at any time and wants clients to feel involved in shaping their care.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches values-based actions so people can move toward what matters despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, when used, helps people understand and shift patterns in close relationships by naming feelings and needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will choose or combine methods to match the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which online formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow for shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and make it simpler to practice skills in everyday settings. The focus remains on practical tools, clearer communication, and steady progress toward goals.
