About Lisa
Lisa Amarant is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with 15 years of experience. She brings a direct but compassionate style to sessions and helps people work through stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and bipolar mood concerns. Lisa focuses on building practical skills that make day-to-day life easier.
She uses straightforward methods to spot thought patterns that keep someone stuck. Then she helps people try new ways of responding so they feel more in control.
Background and approach
Sessions often include goal-setting, simple behavioral experiments, and problem-solving focused on real situations. Her work pays attention to self-esteem, motivation, and social anxiety. She also addresses issues like communication problems, control struggles, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Lisa supports people exploring life purpose and developing more self-love through steady practice and small changes. Lisa blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to meet each person where they are. She talks with clients about which tools fit their goals and adjusts the approach as progress unfolds.
Getting started is treated as a team effort. Lisa emphasizes respectful challenge alongside empathy, and she helps people set clear, manageable goals. She encourages anyone taking the first step to recognize that finding help is an important move toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take small steps toward a life they care about. In practice this looks like identifying what matters, trying brief actions, and learning to accept uncomfortable feelings rather than fight them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing out new behaviors to change mood and reactions. That often involves short experiments and structured exercises you can do between sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding so a person feels heard and can explore what changes matter most to them.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress happens, making the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy lets these approaches fit into busy lives. Video calls allow a full-session conversation with visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter option is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer short check-ins, quick problem-solving, and reminders that keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make it easier to practice new skills regularly and to fit therapy into day-to-day routines.
