About Lisa
Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Connecticut with 10 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self esteem, coping with life changes, relationships, family issues, grief, intimacy-related concerns, career questions, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and she practices approaches listed as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Lisa’s work often begins with straightforward conversation about what feels most urgent. She listens and helps people identify a small set of goals. Sessions may include skill coaching, simple behavioral experiments, and mindfulness exercises aimed at making daily life more manageable.
Her background includes a Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. Over her career she has done individual counseling with adults and adolescents, parent guidance, family work, and group facilitation. That practical experience informs how she introduces tools and strategies in sessions.
In therapy she uses CBT and DBT techniques to address thinking patterns and emotion regulation. Mindfulness-based practices and motivational interviewing are used to increase focus and momentum toward goals. Lisa describes her overall stance as client-centered, meaning she follows the client’s lead when choosing what to focus on.
People often reach out for help with pandemic-related burnout, parenting stress, career strain, communication problems, or midlife transitions. She asks clients to name concrete concerns and then works with them to build step-by-step strategies that fit their daily routines.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. Online sessions using this stance often begin with the person naming a problem and the therapist helping set a clear, short-term goal. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and homework. In remote sessions CBT can include brief in-session skill practice and simple between-session tasks to track changes.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit a person's needs and preferences. Clients and therapist check in and adjust techniques based on what is working and what is not.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into work or family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and mean people do not need to travel for appointments. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life while the therapist focuses on applying CBT, DBT, mindfulness, or client-centered practices that match each person's goals.
