About Lisa

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker who blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered care to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. With 19 years of experience, she emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies while honoring each person’s perspective and goals.

Background and approach

As a seasoned clinician she listens closely before offering options and works with clients to develop focused plans tailored to their needs. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, OCD and obsessions, grief and loss, addictions, intimacy and relationship problems, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and trauma-related issues.

Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, aging and geriatric matters, codependency, family-of-origin dynamics, communication problems, and midlife or purpose-related questions. Lisa holds licenses in Missouri (MO LCSW 002369) and Kansas (LS LSCSW 2430) and frames therapy as a process of short-term, goal-oriented work when appropriate.

She invites clients to speak up if therapy isn’t meeting their needs and will offer referrals when a different expertise is required. Her approach aims to strengthen self-esteem, improve communication, and help people find realistic solutions for the life changes they face.

Integrating therapeutic approaches into online care

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering structured tools for anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, and coping with life changes. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the pace and direction of work. These approaches together support both practical symptom-focused work and deeper exploration of values and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she approaches that decision collaboratively. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and priorities and adjust methods over time to ensure the work remains relevant and effective for the client’s situation.

Online appointments are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy accessible and flexible. These options allow sessions to fit into busy schedules, support continuity during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to engage with therapeutic tools and homework between meetings.
