About Lisa
Lisa Alberty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings eight years of professional experience to her work. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first and then shapes conversations to match each person's needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small steps, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Lisa uses several therapeutic methods to guide her work. Attachment-based ideas help people notice patterns from early relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to build calm and increase self-awareness.
She also brings motivational interviewing and client-centered techniques into sessions. These approaches help people explore their own values and choose changes that feel right for them. The result is a blend of practical tools and supportive listening.
Many clients come with issues tied to family of origin, codependency, body image, communication problems, or feelings of emptiness. Lisa aims to create a respectful space where people can feel heard and try new ways of coping. She helps clients move toward clearer choices and more satisfying everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lisa integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to help people spot and change long-standing relationship patterns, focusing on how early bonds shape current reactions and connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Mindfulness Therapy is offered to build attention to the present moment and to reduce reactivity through simple, practical practices.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed along the way so approaches can be adjusted if something isn’t working.
