About Lisa

LCSW licensed in New York with 12 years of experience, Lisa Moranz helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and mood concerns. She works with individual adults on self-esteem, addiction issues, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting stress, and coping with life changes. Lisa uses approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, DBT strategies, and EMDR in her practice.

Lisa frames sessions around what each person brings. She listens to current struggles and practical goals. She then uses clear, evidence-informed techniques to address symptoms and patterns. Sessions aim to build coping skills and improve daily functioning rather than focus on jargon.

Her background includes over a decade of clinical practice in New York. She draws on experience across mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, compassion fatigue, and complex grief. That experience informs how she plans short-term and longer-term work together.

In the room she pays attention to attachment patterns and communication habits. She may use cognitive behavioral exercises to change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to manage strong emotions. For trauma that involves intrusive memories or past abuse, she may suggest EMDR where appropriate and agreed.

Sessions are conducted in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions. In online sessions this looks like talking through how attachment shows up in relationships and practicing new ways of relating during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Online CBT typically uses short exercises and homework to test new thinking and change habits between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that addresses distressing memories; when used it follows agreed steps to reduce the intensity of intrusive memories and related reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss options and help decide which methods fit someone’s goals and comfort level. That decision is made collaboratively and can change over time as needs evolve.

Session formats are not listed explicitly in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday or evening routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. Therapists often adapt exercises and homework for remote sessions so practical skill-building can continue between appointments.
