About Lisa

Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience based in New York.

Background and approach

She addresses a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, PTSD, body image and addictions, drawing on evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, relationship and communication difficulties, grief, and challenges related to self-esteem and identity.

Her approach blends practical, skills-based work with exploration of personal meaning and patterns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and Jungian ideas to help clients develop coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and clarify values.

Lisa emphasizes collaborative treatment planning and supports clients as they practice new ways of thinking and behaving. Clients who seek help for issues such as compulsions, self-harm, impulsivity, attachment or codependency concerns can expect a professional who values respectful dialogue and steady progress.

She encourages those ready to engage in therapy to recognize this as a positive first step toward change.

Using CBT, ACT, and Client-Centered Work Online

Lisa frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and compulsive behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to support clients in clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and fostering mindful acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings. She also incorporates client-centered principles, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting to ensure treatment aligns with each person’s priorities.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts techniques over time based on what proves most helpful. Clients can expect to experiment with tools in-session and practice them between sessions as part of an individualized plan.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through a variety of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit treatment into busy lives. These options provide flexibility for scheduling and let clients choose the communication style that best supports their work on stress, relationships, trauma recovery, mood regulation, and other concerns.
