Lisa Leong, LCSW, LICSW

Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on steady, practical progress. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Her work centers on clear tools people can use outside sessions to feel more grounded and capable.

She uses approaches that match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions emphasize teamwork, and Lisa stays steady through difficult moments while keeping the work respectful. Her style is supportive and direct, with an eye toward habits and thought patterns that shape daily life.

In sessions she looks at how thoughts and everyday habits affect mood and behavior. She helps people notice unhelpful patterns and try small changes that add up over time. The aim is practical: skills that make coping easier and decisions clearer.

Lisa draws on several evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas and acceptance-based strategies to tailor work to each person. She also uses narrative and client-centered approaches to help people make sense of their stories and build on strengths.

With eight years of experience, Lisa brings calm structure and a plan-oriented focus to sessions. She works with adults who are navigating relationships, parenting stress, career pressure, trauma, and major life shifts. The goal is to help people feel more connected to themselves and to the life they want to build.

Approaches you can use in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on taking actions that match personal values even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by changing routine responses. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and priorities, using empathy and nonjudgmental listening to help people find their own solutions and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as concerns change and new skills are tried.

Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and making it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. It also lets people try different routines for practicing skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises so they work well in an online setting and match what each person needs.
