Lisa Carnicelli, LMHC

Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and clearer ways to respond to hard emotions.

Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and emotionally focused methods. She uses straightforward exercises to notice unhelpful thoughts and to test small behavior changes. Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are added when a short, concrete plan is useful.

Her work often centers on relationship concerns, parenting strain, grief, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues, commitment worries, control problems, and isolation. Common themes include panic attacks, phobias, seasonal mood shifts, and self-love issues.

In sessions she sets clear goals and breaks them into manageable steps. Clients practice simple tools for anxiety, communication, and coping between appointments. The therapist reviews progress regularly and adjusts the plan when needed.

Lisa has experience across nonprofit, community, higher education, and private practice settings. She describes a collaborative style that asks clients what is working and what needs to change. People looking for a structured, practical approach that uses CBT techniques often find the format straightforward and action oriented.
