About Lisa
Lisa Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience helping people facing addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. She meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps. Conversations are straightforward and compassionate, not full of jargon.
She aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions often involve setting small goals, looking at patterns that get in the way, and building skills to cope with hard moments.
Background and approach
Lisa uses approaches that help people change unhelpful thinking, strengthen motivation, and reorganize their personal stories. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their reasons for change when they feel stuck.
Narrative Therapy is used to separate a person from the problem and rethink painful life stories. Lisa has also worked with concerns such as post-traumatic stress, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, self-harm, grief and forgiveness, body image, and issues around pregnancy and aging. She brings steady support for those wrestling with guilt, shame, hoarding, or questions about life purpose.
She practices in New Mexico and holds the LCSW credential, listed as NM LCSW SWB-2022-1104. People can expect a practical, collaborative style focused on real changes and clearer next steps.
How approach and access come together online
Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. This approach suits depression, anxiety, and habits that get in the way of daily life.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change when they feel stuck. This method is useful for addictions, ambivalence about change, and setting realistic next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk together about goals, try approaches that fit the issue, and adjust as needed. That collaborative process helps match methods to what each person needs and prefers.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or you want a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging work well for brief updates, homework between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep steady progress no matter where you are located in New Mexico.
