Lisa Hulsizer

Lisa Hulsizer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida with ten years of hands-on experience. She enjoys supporting teenagers and young adults through big life transitions and the everyday struggles that come with growing up. Lisa aims to build a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where people can talk honestly about what’s hard for them.

She helps with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, anger, self-esteem, grief, and family conflict. Lisa also works with issues such as ADHD, addictions, intimacy-related problems, eating concerns, and career stresses. Her practice includes attention to attachment, abandonment, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress among other areas.

Lisa draws from multiple approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and client-centered methods alongside Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking, and building values-based goals.

In sessions she aims to help clients make small concrete changes, practice coping skills, and improve communication. She encourages collaboration so goals feel realistic and relevant. Lisa’s experience across ages gives her a flexible perspective when supporting teenagers and young adults through school issues, family tension, and identity questions.

Outside of work she lives in central Florida with her fiance, a teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She enjoys video games, Marvel movies, and local theme parks, and she brings a down-to-earth, relatable style to her work.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions toward those values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by encouraging practical steps tied to personal goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) aims to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It’s commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress, and helps people practice new skills between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person’s experience and emphasizes empathy, listening, and collaboration. It creates space for people to feel heard while exploring what they want to change.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and as priorities shift.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people try approaches like ACT or CBT in everyday settings and practice real-life skills between meetings.
