About Lisa

Lisa Moranz is an LCSW licensed in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem. Her work also covers depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes.

She uses practical, task-focused methods in sessions. Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thought and behavior patterns. She also uses attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate. Sessions are straightforward and oriented toward clear steps people can try between meetings.

Lisa aims to help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop different responses. She often works on emotion regulation, interpersonal communication, and managing overwhelming memories or stress. Therapy may include short experiments, skill practice, and gradual exposure to difficult feelings or situations.

Clients commonly bring mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, grief, codependency, dissociation, and family or blended-family issues. She also addresses burnout and compassion fatigue, seasonal mood shifts, and concerns linked to autism and attachment patterns. Work may involve rebuilding daily routines and coping plans.

Lisa’s approach is collaborative and pragmatic. She helps people set concrete goals and track small changes. People looking for clear, skills-based therapy and a focus on everyday functioning often find this style useful.

How her approaches translate to online work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT focuses on clear steps, behavioral experiments, and skill practice that translate easily to weekly online check-ins.

She also draws on attachment-based therapy, which looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people try different ways of connecting. Client-centered therapy informs her listening approach, giving space for people to describe their priorities and goals without pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT skill practice with attachment-focused conversations or adding DBT-style emotion regulation tools when needed.

Session formats are not listed in the available biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. They also allow for shorter check-ins, workbook-style assignments between meetings, and practice of skills in real-world settings.
