About Lisa
Lisa Gore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship and family stress, self-esteem and confidence struggles, career pressures, and anger. Her work also addresses anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, ADHD, intimacy-related concerns, coping with life changes, and general stress.
She focuses on straightforward conversations that clarify what feels most urgent. Sessions look at patterns that lead to repeated conflict, ways to manage strong feelings, and practical steps toward daily improvements. Lisa adjusts how she talks and plans work together based on each person's situation.
Her approach emphasizes respect and sensitivity during discussion. She listens for what gets in the way of progress and helps people practice different responses to stressful moments. That can include techniques to reduce reactivity, strategies to rebuild trust in relationships, and guidance for setting career or life goals.
Lisa aims to make the process as clear and manageable as possible. She works with concrete goals and measurable steps so people can track changes over time. The focus is on what someone can try between sessions and how to notice if those efforts are helping.
To begin, clients use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit. Lisa uses a subscription model for sessions, which can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in a practical way. One approach focuses on recognizing and changing the patterns that fuel anger and repeated conflict. That involves noticing triggers, practicing brief new responses, and experimenting with different communication habits to reduce escalation. A second approach emphasizes skill-based practice for anxiety and stress. This includes short tools to lower arousal, breathing and grounding options to regain composure, and step-by-step plans to handle difficult situations at work or home. These methods help people build trusted responses they can use between sessions. Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and daily life. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and set achievable practice tasks to test in real situations. Confirm current session formats before booking since specific online options are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Ask about the session rhythm and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical arrangements match your routine.Areas of expertise
