Lisa Levin , LCSW

Lisa Levin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with twenty years of experience helping people reduce suffering and rebuild more satisfying lives. She focuses on trauma and addictions while also addressing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Her practice emphasizes practical, results-oriented work and adapts to each person rather than relying on a single method.

Levin treats a wide range of trauma, including experiences related to racism, discrimination, spiritual or religious harm, and long-term emotional neglect. She also works with many forms of addiction beyond substances - including love, sex, pornography, gambling, and compulsive behaviors - supporting people who want greater freedom and healthier patterns. Her approach recognizes that trauma can be emotional or cumulative and that what matters is how an individual’s heart and mind have responded to life events.

She combines evidence-informed therapies with additional trainings to meet varied needs, drawing on modalities such as cognitive and behavioral methods, acceptance-based work, attachment-focused strategies, and other integrative tools she has pursued in training. Levin is committed to social justice and works to empower people of color and members of LGBTQIA+ communities who have faced discrimination and microaggressions. Her aim is to help clients move toward more empowered, connected, and resilient lives.

Approaches for Online Healing and Everyday Challenges

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then take committed action toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that keep people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and coping - it helps people improve intimacy, manage abandonment or attachment issues, and heal relational wounds stemming from childhood or caregiving dynamics. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, mood concerns, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa Levin works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust the plan as therapy progresses so clients feel involved and supported.

Online therapy offers flexible, accessible ways to engage with licensed professionals - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try new therapeutic tools in real time, and fit work or family commitments around therapy.
