About Alisa
Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common struggles such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues. She also assists people facing life changes, grief, parenting strain, addictions and career concerns.
Her way of working keeps things straightforward. She treats the person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on talking through patterns that keep problems repeating.
Alisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward concrete goals. Conversations may include planning small behavior changes, practicing different ways to communicate, and building ways to manage strong feelings like anger or resentment. She frames change as gradual and skill-based rather than overnight.
Over her career she has helped people manage trauma, caregiver stress, blended family issues, and the stress that comes from prejudice and discrimination. She also supports those dealing with sleep problems, bipolar concerns, forgiveness and recovery from infidelity.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize skills and practice. One common approach is behavioral work that focuses on small, practical changes in day-to-day routines to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lower reactivity when anger flares. These steps are concrete and can be practiced between sessions to build new habits.Another typical element is communication work that teaches clear ways to express needs and set boundaries. This helps reduce repeated conflicts and manage resentment in close relationships. A third strand is trauma-informed care that attends to how past hurt shapes current reactions and supports gradual pacing when distress is high.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to choose methods that match the person’s goals, preferences and life demands. That may mean prioritizing short behavior experiments at first, then adding communication skills or trauma-focused work as trust grows.
If you are planning for online sessions, confirm which session formats are offered before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing format options during the initial match helps place therapy into everyday life without assuming a specific delivery method.
