About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker in New York who helps people manage strong emotions and day-to-day stress.

She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Lisa uses evidence-informed approaches to help clients learn new skills for coping, regulation, and problem solving. She focuses on small, doable changes that build confidence over time.
Background and approach
Lisa draws on attachment-based and client-centered work to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and shift unhelpful thinking. For people with trauma, she offers EMDR-informed methods when appropriate.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through painful experiences and daily pressures. Lisa emphasizes collaboration and clear goals so progress feels measurable. She pays attention to life context and practical barriers when planning work together.
With 12 years as a therapist and longer experience in human services, Lisa combines clinical skills with real-world perspective. She helps people tackle relationship strain, parenting stress, feelings of emptiness or isolation, and transitions like loss or major life change. Sessions are offered in English and tailored to each person’s pace and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Many of Lisa's methods adapt well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on improving how people connect and respond emotionally to others; that work often involves reflecting on relationship patterns and practicing new ways to relate. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own experience and goals, with the therapist offering empathy and support while clients guide what they want to focus on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or anger.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She checks in about what’s helping and adjusts the plan together so the work fits the client’s life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for lessons, skill practice, and deeper conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, between-session support, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, or travel.
