About Lisa
Lisa Hulsizer is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Florida. She has ten years of experience and a calm, straightforward style. Lisa focuses on teens and young adults while also supporting adults through stress, anxiety, and big life changes.
Her work centers on practical tools and honest conversation. She helps people manage worry, mood swings, and problems with self-esteem. She also assists with ADHD, addictions, grief, and relationship or intimacy concerns.
Background and approach
Sessions often include techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, mixed with client-centered listening. Lisa adapts her approach to each person’s needs and goals so sessions feel relevant and doable. She has experience addressing trauma, eating concerns, parenting strain, and career-related stress.
Additional focuses include adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, codependency, and blended family struggles. People also come to her for help with anger, communication problems, and compassion fatigue. Lisa aims to make therapy a collaborative process.
She listens first, then helps set small, clear steps toward change. Outside sessions she enjoys video games, movies, and family time in central Florida with her fiance, a teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and trouble making decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior with clear exercises and skill practice. It often helps with worry, mood swings, and coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan if something does not fit. That collaborative style helps tailor sessions to a person's needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and working through exercises. Phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter exchanges between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or busy family schedules.
