Lisa McCann

Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire and Vermont. She holds a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and has six years of professional experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage anger, trauma, parenting strains, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Her approach begins with listening. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on real problems and real solutions, not labels or long lectures. Lisa emphasizes safety, pacing, and clear goals so people can try new ways of handling hard situations.

She uses methods drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns and test small changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation and impulsivity are a concern. Solution-focused techniques are used to set specific, short-term goals and track progress.

Clients come for help with family stress, parenting challenges, abandonment or attachment concerns, relationship problems, substance issues, and coping with life changes. Lisa also supports people dealing with depression, ADHD-related struggles, money worries, and isolation. She combines practical skill-building with attention to each person’s values and circumstances.

Lisa invites people who are ready to try step-by-step change. She helps create manageable plans and checks in on what’s working. Her style is steady, warm, and goal-oriented, aimed at helping clients regain control over daily life.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on what already works in a person’s life. It helps when someone needs space to tell their story and name their priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and low mood.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online work can include fitting sessions into a busy day and making it easier to keep appointments.
