About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Vermont and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Hampshire with six years of practice experience. She works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. Lisa emphasizes a practical, person-centered approach and treats clients as the experts on their own lives.
She focuses on clear, usable steps rather than jargon. Sessions often include looking at patterns that keep problems going and trying small changes to see what helps. Lisa draws on solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals and on cognitive behavioral strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
People come to her for help managing strong emotions, improving communication, and coping with life transitions. She also supports those dealing with attachment and adoption issues, blended family adjustments, caregiver strain, and financial stress. Her work includes attention to impulsivity and problems with isolation or feeling stuck.
Lisa aims to make therapy direct and practical. She listens for strengths and builds on what already works for each person. Her style emphasizes active skills practice, problem solving, and straightforward conversation about what to try between sessions.
Sessions are provided in English from New Hampshire, and clients outside the United States are not accepted. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the online process.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that map well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building on a person's strengths to set practical goals. This helps when someone wants to talk through family tensions, parenting stress, or recurring anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches specific skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and anger management.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals, preferences, and what feels useful. That choice can shift over time as people test skills and notice what helps in everyday life.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring in real-life examples from day-to-day situations. Ask about current session format options when you begin the matching process so arrangements fit your routine.
