About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and problems with self-esteem. She supports people coping with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, addiction issues, mood shifts, and life changes. Lisa uses straightforward, practical methods and listens for what matters most to each person.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships.
Background and approach
She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to teach emotional regulation. For people with trauma, she may use EMDR as one option to reduce the intensity of painful memories. Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person.
Lisa focuses on building skills you can use between meetings, like grounding, thought tracking, and clearer communication. She aims to make sessions feel useful from the start rather than waiting for months to see change. Lisa has 12 years of clinical experience and holds a New York LCSW with license number NY LCSW 092173-01.
She has worked across many settings in the human services field and brings that practical experience into therapy sessions. Work with her in English through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Online formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.

Online approaches that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and patterns. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and work toward more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation by building practical skills for daily life. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that can help reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories through guided processing techniques.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls let people preserve face-to-face interaction and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging help sustain momentum between meetings and allow for brief reflections or skill checks throughout the week. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and other routines while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
