About Lisa

Lisa Hulsizer brings a practical, skills-focused approach rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and difficult life transitions.

Background and approach

With ten years as a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, she blends structured techniques with client-centered listening to tailor treatment to each person’s circumstances. Her practice addresses a broad range of issues including family conflict, self-esteem struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges around parenting and career changes.

She layers acceptance and commitment strategies, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work alongside CBT tools to support concrete change while attending to values and motivation. Lisa aims to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental environment and to collaborate with clients on practical goals and coping strategies.

Outside of clinical work she lives in central Florida with her fiancé, teenage daughter, and several pets, and she enjoys video games, movies, and local theme parks.

Practical approaches for online change

Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns, offering clear skills for anxiety, mood regulation, and behavior change. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and build psychological flexibility, which can be useful when adjusting to life transitions or chronic stress. Client-centered techniques are integrated to ensure sessions remain attuned to each individual's experience and preferences.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Lisa will discuss options with clients, try different strategies as appropriate, and adapt the mix of techniques based on a person’s goals, motivation, and response to treatment. That collaborative stance helps tailor work whether someone needs short-term problem solving or ongoing support.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this style of care. Video and phone sessions allow for conversational work and skills practice, while live chat and text-based messaging provide flexibility for brief check-ins, homework support, and ongoing encouragement between synchronous visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from various locations.
