About Lisa

Lisa Moranz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of clinical practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, anger, bipolar mood patterns, and coping with life changes.

She focuses on practical skills and clear steps rather than jargon. Sessions typically involve talking through what’s happening now, identifying patterns, and trying small experiments to change how things go between sessions. She uses approaches such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior ideas, client-centered conversation, and EMDR when appropriate.

Lisa draws on a long history in human services alongside her clinical years. That background shapes how she listens for connection patterns and for how past experiences affect current reactions. She helps people notice triggers, manage strong feelings, and repair relationships when possible.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She asks questions, offers practical tools, and checks in about what helps the person most. Progress is built in small steps - learning a new skill, testing it, and adjusting based on real-life results.

People who come for anger or relationship strain often leave with clearer ways to respond when they feel heated. Lisa also works with grief, trauma responses, mood shifts, and the burnout that can come from caregiving or demanding jobs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape reactions. Online sessions use conversation to notice patterns, practice new ways of relating, and plan real-life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks situations into thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online meetings the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try new responses, and use simple homework to test different behaviors.

Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the concern, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine attachment ideas with CBT skills or add techniques from DBT or EMDR when those seem helpful.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know how you will meet. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let someone choose video or audio based on what feels most workable. If a specific format matters to you, check the current options during sign-up so sessions match your schedule and needs.
