About Lisa
Lisa Leong is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and a LICSW with eight years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and life changes. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented to help people manage everyday problems.
Lisa uses clear, step-by-step tools rather than abstract talk. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, do-able responses. That work often includes short skill practice and checking what actually changed between sessions.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered listening. That mix supports changing patterns while keeping attention on personal values and what matters most to each person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy also influence her work when emotion regulation or life story meaning are helpful.
In sessions she focuses on concrete problems like workplace stress, communication problems, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and parenting strain. She also works with longer-term concerns such as attachment wounds, codependency, and feelings of emptiness. Clients typically leave with specific steps to try between visits.
Lisa emphasizes steady, manageable progress. She collaborates with each person to set small goals and track what helps. The result is practical work aimed at clearer thinking, calmer responding, and better handling of life’s next challenges.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior and then test small changes in daily life. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and practical problems such as workplace stress or communication issues. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used alongside CBT to clarify values and help people take committed action even when difficult feelings remain. That can be helpful for life changes, grief, and long-standing avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy provides a straightforward listening stance that keeps the client's priorities at the center and supports working through what matters most.Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and agree on which methods to emphasize based on goals, preferences, and what seems to help in early sessions. The plan can shift as progress is tracked and new challenges appear.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. Some people prefer sessions that do not require video, while others use video for face-to-face interaction; check which formats are available and choose what fits your routine.
