About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience based in New York. She speaks English and Spanish and draws on a long career across community and academic settings. Lisa aims to make first contacts simple and direct so people can focus on what brought them here.
She begins by asking a few clear questions to understand current struggles and history. That helps her and the client set practical goals and decide next steps.
Background and approach
Sessions look at daily life, relationships, strengths, and barriers to change. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges around identity like LGBT questions. She also helps with parenting stress, career shifts, anger, and self-esteem worries.
Lisa uses several approaches in session, including hypnotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She talks with people about which methods might fit their needs and adapts plans as progress is made. Clients can expect a conversational, straightforward style that balances listening with practical steps.
Lisa also teaches at a New York social work school and is pursuing doctoral study, which she brings into her clinical thinking. She invites people to ask questions and to consider a plan that fits their life and goals.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Hypnotherapy offers guided relaxation and focused attention to help change unhelpful habits and manage symptoms such as anxiety, stress, or grief-related reactions. It typically involves calming exercises and suggestions to support new coping responses.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to actions that reflect their values. It uses mindfulness and practical exercises to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful day-to-day choices.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens and reflects. That approach helps people feel heard and discover their own solutions at their own pace.
Deciding which direction to try is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, concerns, and preferences and suggest approaches to try. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping.
Online sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video lets you see facial cues and practice exercises together, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options provide flexibility and allow work to continue when schedules or travel make in-person sessions difficult.
