About Lisa

Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in mental health care. She focuses on practical, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by symptoms like depression, anxiety, mood swings, and obsessive thoughts. Lisa speaks plainly and helps clients break problems into manageable steps.

Her background includes work across mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and body image concerns. She draws on several therapeutic approaches to match the work to the person. Sessions often center on skills practice, learning new coping strategies, and developing clearer patterns of thinking and behavior.

Lisa uses evidence-informed tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and to build valued daily routines. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions grounded in each person's priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills can be included when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are central concerns.

People come to Lisa for a wide range of issues including stress, relationship strain, grief, addictions, parenting challenges, and identity-related concerns. She also supports work on abandonment, attachment, codependency, and communication problems. The work is collaborative and paced to the client's readiness.

Based in New York, Lisa offers a straightforward, empathetic style. She welcomes questions about approach and process, and helps people figure out practical next steps for the issues they bring.

How Lisa's approaches work in online therapy

Client-centered therapy starts by asking what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those goals. It emphasizes listening, validation, and working at the client's pace so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking patterns and build new habits for mood and anxiety problems.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to reconnect with personal values. This approach can be useful for chronic stress, anger, and persistent worry where avoidance has become a pattern.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist decide together which methods to emphasize.

Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and keep continuity when schedules change. It also allows focused skill practice between appointments to help people apply what they learn to daily situations.
