About Lisa

Lisa Rosario is an LCSW with 25 years of clinical experience based in New York.

Background and approach

She brings a long-standing commitment to mental health shaped by extensive work across varied settings and a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image struggles, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Fluent in English and Spanish, she draws on her bicultural background to connect with clients from diverse cultural experiences and to tailor interventions to individual needs. Her practice emphasizes collaborative assessment and clear planning.

Early conversations focus on understanding current symptoms, personal history, relationships, strengths, and goals. From that foundation she and the client identify priorities and select therapeutic methods that match the presenting issues, then outline practical next steps and a treatment plan.

With training in approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, she blends evidence-informed techniques with a warm, professional manner. Outside direct practice she shares her expertise in academia as an adjunct professor and is pursuing doctoral candidacy.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling an initial appointment according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to notice thoughts and feelings without being dominated by them; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships to strengthen connection and resolve patterns that cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with the client to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferences, and then recommend or combine methods that best support progress while remaining open to adjustments over time.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. These formats provide scheduling flexibility, reduce travel time, and allow continued access to licensed professionals when in-person meetings are impractical, helping people maintain momentum in treatment across life transitions.
