Alisa Hartfield Cordero

Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She has 18 years of experience helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, anger, and many life changes. She speaks English and accepts international clients. Alisa approaches therapy as a partnership. She believes people know their own stories and brings attention to each person’s strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps, building motivation, and developing tools to manage difficult feelings and behaviors. Her work often covers relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, caregiving stress, and issues that come after trauma or loss. She also supports those facing career shifts, forgiveness and infidelity questions, and the ripple effects of prejudice and military-related experiences. Alisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward clear goals. She helps people identify patterns that cause pain and works with them to try new ways of coping. The emphasis is on small changes that add up to better daily functioning. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Alisa aims to make the start straightforward. She asks questions, listens, and helps set a plan that fits each person’s life and goals. People leave sessions with practical ideas to try between meetings.

Approaches that guide online work

Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behavior and then tests small changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. This approach supports people with anxiety, depression, anger, and stress by teaching concrete coping strategies.

Another approach emphasizes building on a person’s strengths and values. Sessions look at what already works in someone’s life and expand those resources to handle relationship strain, caregiving demands, or recovery after trauma. This method helps people reconnect with motivation and purpose.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Many people choose online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules and reduce time spent traveling. Online work can make it easier to keep regular sessions, try brief check-ins during a workday, or avoid commuting.
