About Lisa
Lisa Parise is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Virginia Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 15 years of practice. She helps people cope with trauma, depression, anxiety, stress, and addiction-related concerns. Her work also covers grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and struggles with self-esteem and anger.
She uses straightforward, skills-based methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she lists. She also draws on attachment-focused methods, dialectical behavior therapy techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and client-centered ways of working.
In sessions she often focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and patterns of behavior. She helps people try different responses and practice new skills between meetings. That can include grounding strategies, emotion regulation tools, and communication practice.
Her background includes a Master of Arts in Social Work from Fordham University, plus registrations in somatic movement therapy and yoga teaching that inform her interest in body-based awareness. Her credential list is MA LICSW and VA LCSW, which reflect clinical social work practice in the United States.
She works with a wide range of concerns beyond core mood and trauma symptoms, including addictions, LGBT-related issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. Sessions are in English and based in Virginia. To confirm current session options and formats, readers should check the booking flow before scheduling.
How her approaches translate to online work
Clients can expect practical methods adapted for remote sessions, beginning with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it suits problems like anxiety, depression, addiction patterns, and habit shifts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonding and relational patterns and how they show up now in relationships and self-image, which can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries, and family of origin concerns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs, preferences, and day-to-day constraints. Together you may blend CBT skills, attachment work, and client-centered talk to address symptoms and practical challenges.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time from the appointment. They can also accommodate quieter surroundings or choices about being on camera depending on what the person needs that day. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, skills practice, and between-session tasks to work over distance while focusing on concrete changes and coping strategies.
