Lisa Alberty , LCSW

Lisa Alberty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings eight years of professional experience to her work. Lisa focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Her sessions are practical and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns and small steps that can make life feel more manageable. Lisa adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation rather than using a single formula.

Lisa often works with issues that grow out of early attachment and family of origin problems. She also addresses body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness. Clients who face life transitions such as divorce or separation may find her approach useful.

Her style blends goal-focused work with an emphasis on the person in the room. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Motivational interviewing tools are used when someone wants to build motivation for change.

People who feel stuck by guilt, shame, impulsivity, isolation, or unclear life purpose can benefit from the steady, practical support she offers. Lisa aims to empower clients so they can make choices that fit their values and daily life.

Online approaches that fit your life

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they seek certain connections and how to build healthier ones. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected; sessions follow the client's pace and priorities to strengthen self-direction and self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches tangible techniques for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a team process. Lisa will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. She checks in about how a technique is working and adjusts the plan together so the work stays practical and helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people work face to face when they want deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to share thoughts between sessions and keep progress moving forward.
