About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She greets new visitors warmly and recognizes how hard it can feel to reach out for help. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a bicultural perspective to sessions.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from Antioch University and a graduate degree from New York University. She has taught as an adjunct professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work for nine years and is working toward doctoral candidacy. Over her career she has worked across multiple settings and with many kinds of concerns.
In first meetings she asks a few focused questions to understand what someone has been facing. She invites clients to describe current struggles, history, relationships, strengths, and goals. Together they map practical next steps and discuss a treatment plan that focuses on daily impact.
Her practice addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, ADHD symptoms, eating and body image concerns, parenting and family topics, career stress, and coping with life changes. Additional focus areas include abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and blended family concerns.
Sessions emphasize collaboration and clear planning. Clients can expect a therapist who listens, asks straightforward questions, and helps identify manageable steps forward. She encourages questions about how therapy will work and what to expect next.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking meaningful action. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching them simple skills to notice thoughts and commit to steps that match what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the patterns between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It breaks problems into small, manageable parts and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns over time.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they can try methods that match those needs and adjust the plan as things change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a work break, or avoid camera use when preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises to work in an online setting, focusing on real-world steps and homework that fit daily routines.
