About Lisa

Lisa Rosario is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 25 years of experience. She offers a calm, direct approach and speaks English and Spanish. Lisa aims to make first steps toward therapy feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

She begins sessions by asking clear questions to understand what brought someone in. Lisa listens for current struggles, past history, relationships, and daily stressors. Together she and the client identify strengths and practical goals that matter in ordinary life.

Background and approach

Her work draws on several methods, including existential ideas about meaning, acceptance and commitment strategies, and client-centered listening. She uses simple tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches when they match a person’s goals. The focus is on what helps someone cope, make choices, and feel more grounded day to day.

Lisa has worked across many settings and with a wide range of concerns over her career. She has experience with anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and family stress, eating and body image struggles, ADHD symptoms, and caregiver strain. She also supports people facing life changes, illness, or career stress.

In sessions she explains options, makes a practical plan, and checks in about what is working. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. People who want clear steps, honest conversation, and a bilingual therapist often find her approach helpful.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice, and values when life feels uncertain. It often involves talking through what matters most and how to live with hard questions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts without fighting them and taking actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening, empathy, and supporting someone to find their own solutions; it’s useful when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort things out.

Finding the right approach is something to explore together. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a client’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. Over a few sessions the plan can be adjusted so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Messaging or live chat supports quick processing, homework check-ins, and ongoing support between appointments.
