About Lisa
Lisa Gore is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help. She uses straightforward conversation and problem-solving to help people facing relationship strain, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Lisa writes short, clear plans so progress feels manageable.
She brings ten years of professional experience and a history of working with people on motivation, confidence, and intimacy-related concerns. She adapts sessions to each person’s needs instead of using one set approach.
Background and approach
That means sessions can be goal-focused coaching or deeper therapy depending on what someone needs. In sessions, she listens for what matters most and then breaks issues into small, doable steps. She helps people name patterns, try different ways of responding, and practice new skills between meetings.
Conversations are respectful and practical, aimed at improving day-to-day life. Lisa works with common life stresses like career transitions, family conflict, or the fallout of past abuse. She also supports people managing anger, ADHD-related struggles, and intimacy worries.
Her style balances emotional understanding with clear action. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and checked regularly. Lisa encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she helps people build routines that fit real life.
She practices in Virginia as an LCSW and uses plain language throughout therapy.
Practical approaches for online care
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and skills. One common approach emphasizes practical problem-solving and skill building to reduce anxiety and manage stress; it helps people break big problems into small steps and practice new responses. Another approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and building coping skills for trauma and grief, helping people understand how past events affect current feelings and habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss goals, and try methods that match your needs and preferences. You and the therapist decide together whether sessions should be coaching-focused, skills-based, or geared toward deeper emotional work, and the plan can change as progress happens.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, and flexible support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working toward clear goals.
