Lisa Hulsizer , LCSW

Lisa Hulsizer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in central Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She has worked with adults, children, adolescents, and teens, and she especially enjoys supporting teenagers and young adults as they navigate periods of rapid change and personal growth.

Her clinical work addresses a broad spectrum of concerns, including depression, anxiety, school-related challenges, relationship difficulties, self-harm and suicidal ideation, anger, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, and family conflict. Lisa draws from a mix of therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs, focusing on practical strategies and collaborative goal setting so clients feel supported throughout treatment.

Outside of her professional role, Lisa lives in central Florida with her fiancé, teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She spends free time playing video games, watching movies with a particular fondness for Marvel titles, and exploring the region’s theme parks. Lisa aims to build a respectful, empathetic space where clients can work toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Lisa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and focus on meaningful actions - it is useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship so clients can explore feelings and discover their own solutions - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing relationship or family concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them - it is effective for depression, anxiety, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility and access from different locations. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, and family life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each client.
