About Lisa

Lisa Hulsizer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida. She has ten years of experience and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and codependency concerns. Lisa aims to make therapy approachable and practical for everyday life.

She works with teenagers and young adults often, and finds this stage of life rewarding to support. Lisa addresses issues such as depression, family conflict, self-esteem, school-related problems, and coping with life changes. She also assists with concerns like ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, anger, and career stress.

In sessions she uses a blend of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to match the work to what a person needs. The emphasis is on practical tools and clear next steps rather than jargon.

Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps people set realistic goals, practice new skills, and notice small changes that add up over time. Sessions aim to feel supportive and goal-oriented, with attention to safety when trauma, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts are present.

Outside of work she lives in central Florida with her fiance, a teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She enjoys video games, movies - especially Marvel - and visiting nearby theme parks.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck on them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. These tools are often used for anxiety, mood, and behavior changes. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace so sessions feel supportive and collaborative.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their situation and adjusts the plan over time as needs change.

Confirm the specific session formats before booking since this profile does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports continuity of care for people who are traveling or living outside the therapist's immediate area. The focus is on practical benefits that help therapy become part of everyday life rather than an extra obligation.
