Lisa Mulholland , LCSW

Lisa Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, addictions, and depression. She practices from New Mexico and brings 13 years of professional experience to her work. Lisa aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward for people under strain.

She creates a calm space where clients can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that get in the way of daily life. Lisa emphasizes small, doable changes that fit into a person's routine.

Her sessions often use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot negative thoughts and test them in real life. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to build momentum when someone feels stuck. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe painful experiences and reclaim their story.

Lisa works with adults on parenting challenges, relationship repair, and healing after trauma. She also supports people dealing with depression, obsessional behaviors, hoarding, body-image concerns, and issues tied to aging or life transitions. Her background includes work with veterans and those coping with grief or separation.

Practical matters are part of the conversation. Lisa talks about coping skills, goal-setting, and problem solving in plain language. She encourages realistic milestones and checks progress together so changes feel meaningful.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people recognize unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes that improve mood and relationships. CBT is practical and works well for depression, anxiety, and daily coping skills.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. This approach is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about addressing addictions, parenting changes, or life transitions. Narrative Therapy is another tool she employs to help people make sense of painful experiences by reshaping the stories they tell about themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. You and the therapist collaborate on a plan and adjust it as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and text are useful for short updates, between-session support, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
