About Lisa
Lisa Alberty is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She speaks English and Spanish and has eight years of experience helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns. Her style is direct and respectful.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that can be used between meetings. Lisa uses approaches that help people understand patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current behavior. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and actions that feed anger, shame, or anxiety. Mindfulness practices are used when helpful to teach skills for managing strong feelings in the moment.
Motivational interviewing can support people who feel stuck or unsure about making changes. These tools are presented in plain language and applied to everyday problems. She works with issues such as codependency, communication problems, control struggles, dissociation, and family of origin wounds.
Lisa also supports people facing divorce, first responder stress, body image concerns, and feelings of emptiness. People who prefer bilingual care and a practical, collaborative process may find her approach useful. She focuses on helping clients build manageable coping strategies and find clearer direction toward their goals.

Approaches and online care that fit your life
Lisa uses attachment-based ideas to help people see how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns, which can be useful for tackling relationship strain and intimacy struggles. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger, shame, or anxiety. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build simple skills for noticing and tolerating strong feelings in the moment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and preferences, and then try methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process where plans are adjusted as progress or new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or screen time needs to be reduced. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing motivation between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving routines while keeping focus on practical steps and skill building.
