About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and life transitions. She is Lisa Leong, LCSW, LICSW, and she focuses on steady, practical progress that fits each person’s life. Sessions aim to be down-to-earth and useful from week to week.
She offers straightforward tools for anxiety, low self-esteem, workplace stress, and relationship strain. Lisa pays attention to how everyday habits and thoughts shape mood and behavior.
Background and approach
She works with grief, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, and compassion fatigue in ways that respect each person’s pace. Her approach blends several styles to match what someone needs in the moment. Techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy help identify unhelpful thinking patterns.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based choices and managing difficult feelings without getting stuck. Lisa also uses client-centered principles to keep sessions focused on the person’s goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need concrete tools for emotion regulation.
Narrative Therapy ideas help people clarify the stories they tell about themselves and change those that cause pain. With eight years of clinical experience, she aims for work that feels realistic and achievable. People can expect a collaborative process where goals are checked and adjusted over time.
She practices in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like perfectionism or people pleasing.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will discuss different methods and try what fits your needs and goals. Together you’ll track what helps and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when internet bandwidth is limited, chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or other demands while keeping the focus on practical skill building and steady progress.
