About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 25 years of experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings a long career of direct clinical work and teaching to her practice. She approaches each person with respect for their background and a clear focus on practical steps toward feeling better.
Her sessions begin with simple questions about what brought someone in and what matters most to them right now.
Background and approach
She asks about history, current symptoms, relationships, strengths, and goals. From there she and the client map out next steps and a plan that targets the concerns the client finds most pressing. Lisa uses a mix of accepted approaches to match a person’s needs.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills, and Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered ideas for building stronger relationships and clearer self-understanding.
Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, eating and body image, ADHD symptoms, career strain, and caregiving stress among other areas. She also helps people manage life changes, chronic health concerns, and compassion fatigue. Clients can connect with her in English or Spanish.
She also brings classroom experience as an adjunct professor, which informs her clear teaching style in session. If the collaborative, step-by-step approach feels right, she outlines practical options and what to expect from treatment.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and anger management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another approach she uses to help people clarify their values and take action toward what matters, especially during life changes and chronic stress. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach concrete strategies for regulating intense emotions and improving coping.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to one method upfront.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins or when scheduling quick support between appointments. These options let people fit therapy into work, family time, or medical schedules without long commutes.
