About Lisa
Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience based in New York. She offers straightforward, practical support for common and complex emotional struggles. She speaks English and focuses on building a steady, collaborative relationship with each person she sees.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and trauma and abuse. She also helps people facing addiction, eating concerns, obsessions and compulsions, and challenges with self-harm.
Background and approach
Relationship and communication issues, parenting strain, grief, and identity concerns such as LGBT matters are also within her scope. Lisa blends practical strategies and thoughtful listening. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot thinking patterns that get in the way.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for managing strong emotions and impulsivity. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take small meaningful steps. Client-centered and Jungian ideas guide a respectful, exploratory approach that honors personal meaning and life story.
Sessions can include short skill practices, reflective conversation, and goal-focused planning. Lisa aims to make therapy feel doable and relevant to everyday life. She encourages clear communication about goals and adjusts methods to match each person’s needs.
To start, she asks about the current problem, daily routines, and what a better life would look like. From there she and the person set practical next steps and track progress together.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. Online sessions can use these ideas to set clear values-based goals and try small actions between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and then practicing alternative responses; it adapts well to video or phone sessions for teaching specific exercises and homework.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is tracked and needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls are suited for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins, skill reminders, and shorter notes between appointments. These options help fit therapy into a busy schedule and make it easier to keep continuity of care when life gets in the way.
