About Alisa
Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. She supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, self-esteem and motivation struggles, and the disruption that life changes can cause. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at someone taking a first step toward support.
Alisa works from the belief that each person knows their story best. Sessions focus on practical steps, identifying strengths, and building skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She frames therapy as a collaboration where the client’s goals guide the work. Her background spans nearly two decades of clinical work in Texas. That experience informs a straightforward approach to common problems like grief, sleep difficulties, addiction-related concerns, and caregiver stress.
She also brings understanding to issues tied to career, parenting, and long-term relationship challenges. Alisa addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress with sensitivity, and she helps people navigate the fallout of discrimination, infidelity, or divorce. She also supports those dealing with bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and veterans’ issues, tailoring conversations to each person’s life context.
Sessions aim to turn insight into small, practical changes. Alisa encourages clients to notice what’s already working and to try manageable experiments between meetings. Her goal is to make therapy useful and doable for people juggling busy lives.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical work. One approach she uses helps people learn skills to calm intense feelings and respond to anger and anxiety in healthier ways; that involves practicing new behaviors and noticing what triggers strong reactions. Another commonly used approach emphasizes building daily routines and small experiments to improve sleep, mood, and motivation by changing habits step by step.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the work as progress is made. The plan is shaped by what matters to you and what you can realistically try between sessions.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a longer, face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, tracking progress, or getting short bursts of support during the week. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life changes.
