About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and parenting concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in New York.
Rosario grew up in New York as a first-generation Puerto Rican Latinx and completed her bachelor’s degree at Antioch University and her master’s at New York University. She has taught as an adjunct professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work and is beginning a doctoral candidacy. Her career spans many settings and a wide range of presenting problems.
She begins new work by asking questions to understand current struggles and history. Conversations cover symptoms, relationships, interests, strengths, and goals. From there she and the client map out next steps and a treatment plan that focuses on the most pressing problems and daily impact.
Her practice draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Sessions include discussion of specific methods to address the concerns identified in the assessment and what might fit a client's goals.
People who prefer practical, structured work with clear steps may find this style useful. The therapist explains options and involves clients in choosing methods. The initial phase is an assessment that leads to a focused plan and measurable next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking skills into steps and practicing them between sessions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that align with personal values. This can help with worry, avoidance, and coping with life changes.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and creating space for clients to describe their concerns, strengths, and goals. That information then guides which practical techniques to try.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and preferences, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are invited to discuss which skills feel most useful and which do not.
Confirm the current session formats before booking as the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to schedule sessions so they fit work, family, and daily routines.
