Lisa Meotti , LCSW

Lisa Meotti is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people through difficult life changes. She practices in Florida and focuses on issues such as addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. Lisa creates an affirming environment and aims to help clients feel heard and understood.

Her work centers on practical skills and moment-to-moment support. She helps people manage strong emotions like shame, guilt, and isolation. She also supports growth in communication and self-compassion so clients can move toward better relationships and clearer personal goals.

Lisa draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy. These methods are used to address substance use, relationship patterns, attachment concerns, and stress-related symptoms. She adapts techniques to each person’s situation rather than using a single fixed method.

The practice pays attention to life transitions and identity-related concerns, including LGBTQ issues, adoption and foster care histories, and caregiver strain. Lisa offers guidance for people coping with abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and the emotional fallout of divorce and separation.

Sessions focus on clear steps and compassionate listening. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are set together and adjusted over time. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes, with tools that can be used between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with meaning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. It often includes practical exercises that clients can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating and regulating emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend or combine methods. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let people use body language and eye contact while avoiding travel time. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be a good choice for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep contact between scheduled sessions. These options increase flexibility and help clients maintain continuity of care across different schedules and locations.
