About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker with both LICSW (Vermont) and LCSW (New Hampshire) credentials and six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, motivation, self-esteem, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and ADHD. She helps clients who are trying to manage life changes and daily pressures. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to respond to problems.
She emphasizes a straightforward, skills-based approach that names habits and thoughts that get in the way. Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations focused on the client’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and solution-focused tools are available when emotion regulation or concrete short-term goals are needed.
In sessions she listens for patterns that produce repeatable problems and then tests small changes. Work often includes identifying specific thoughts, trying different responses, and practicing new skills between meetings. Progress is measured by what clients can do differently in day-to-day situations.
Lisa has experience across a range of family-related issues including adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, blended family stress, caregiving strain, and communication problems. She also addresses separation, domestic violence impacts, substance-related concerns, isolation, and financial stressors.
People who prefer clear, structured work and practical tools often find this approach useful. She offers services in New Hampshire and conducts sessions in English. To start, readers complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice patterns of thought and behavior and to practice concrete changes. CBT sessions focus on identifying specific thoughts that lead to unhelpful actions and rehearsing alternative responses, which can be done verbally and through between-session exercises.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to structure sessions around a client’s priorities, keeping the work focused on what matters most to the person. Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness skills are useful; these provide clear steps and practiceable skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and as practical problems emerge.
