About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker based in New York who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.
Background and approach
She also addresses a broad range of relational and mood-related concerns including addictions, intimacy and relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and bipolar disorder. Additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, blended family concerns, codependency, dissociation, and post-traumatic stress.
Her approach blends evidence-informed methods to help clients identify patterns, build practical skills, and process painful memories. Lisa uses cognitive behavioral strategies alongside attachment-informed perspectives, client-centered listening, DBT skills, and EMDR-informed techniques when appropriate, tailoring methods to each person’s goals.
With 12 years of clinical experience and an LCSW credential, she emphasizes collaboration and believes clients bring their own strengths and expertise to the work. Clients can expect a respectful, goal-oriented style that balances skill-building with compassionate exploration.
She offers sessions in several online formats and aims to help people move toward greater functioning, clearer priorities, and more satisfying relationships while honoring each person’s pace and preferences.
Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete coping skills to change mood and behavior; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relational patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses, helping clients improve connection and interpersonal safety. EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing recollections by using guided attention and processing techniques.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and then recommends methods or a combination of techniques that seem most helpful. Clients are invited to provide feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time to better fit what they find productive and tolerable.
Online therapy here is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels with communication. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional while fitting sessions into work, family, and daily life routines.
