Lisa Leong

Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, grief, and anger. She aims to help clients feel more connected to themselves and more steady in daily life. Her style is steady and collaborative, with an emphasis on simple tools that can be used between sessions.

She uses an approach that blends acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening. Sessions are aimed at making steady, realistic progress that fits each person's life. Lisa pays attention to history, strengths, and current struggles when shaping a plan.

In the room she helps people learn skills for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and handling life transitions. Work can include practicing new ways of responding, testing small changes, and talking through difficult moments. Lisa keeps the tone supportive and down-to-earth while working toward concrete goals.

Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). She draws on a mix of evidence-informed methods without assuming one single path fits everyone.

Clients who choose her are often looking for straightforward strategies for coping, clearer decision-making, and relief from overwhelming feelings. The focus is on building lasting habits that help people face next steps with more confidence.

Approaches that guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions feel intense. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance to help people feel heard and explore their own solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best. That may mean mixing techniques from ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening so the plan matches goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice new skills between commitments and bring real-life situations into conversation. Licensed professionals will help tailor session length and focus to what works for each person.
