About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with eight years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, anger, grief, and life changes. Sessions are practical and focused on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Lisa uses clear, usable strategies. She helps people learn skills for handling frustration, setting boundaries, and improving communication. Work often includes identifying patterns that keep anger and resentment cycling and trying small, manageable changes to interrupt them.
Her style draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That means discussions about what matters to a person, noticing thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and practicing new responses in daily life. She also weaves in techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Narrative Therapy when they fit the situation.
In sessions Lisa focuses on practical tools and steady skill building. She helps people break problems down into concrete steps, try new behaviors, and reflect on what worked. The aim is to increase clarity and control over reactions without shaming how someone has coped so far.
People can expect a calm, direct approach that keeps the work collaborative. Lisa supports goal setting and tracks small changes over time so clients can see real progress and decide what to try next.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action. Online sessions using ACT often involve identifying what matters to the client and practicing small, values-based steps between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions CBT can include step-by-step experiments, thought records, and behavior activation planning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving people space to name what feels important and decide next steps with the therapist's guidance.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then try approaches that fit. That collaborative testing helps narrow to methods that feel useful and practical.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when that suits, and reduce the time needed for travel. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while trying out new skills for managing anger, stress, and relationship tension.
