About Lisa
Lisa Seidel is a New York licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship strains. She speaks plainly and calmly, helping clients who want practical ways to manage tough moments and day-to-day pressures.
She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of life challenges. She also works with people dealing with addiction, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, and LGBT issues. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric matters, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, and young adult concerns.
In sessions she treats people with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Conversations and plans are tailored to each person's situation. That might mean short-term strategies for immediate stress, or a longer plan to process grief and rebuild routines.
Lisa emphasizes a collaborative approach. She helps clients set realistic goals and chooses methods that fit their needs and comfort level. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it manageable and straightforward.
Her New York LCSW-R credential is part of her background and reflects long-term clinical practice. People who reach out typically begin by describing their main concern, and then schedule sessions that match their timing and goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One common approach involves practical coping skills and problem-solving to reduce day-to-day stress and anxiety. This helps when someone needs clear steps to manage overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning.Another approach focuses on processing grief and trauma through paced conversation and emotional support. That method helps people name painful experiences, work through difficult memories, and build routines that support healing over time.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try strategies that fit the client's life. Adjustments are made as progress and needs become clearer.
