Lisa Moranz , LCSW

Lisa Moranz is a New York-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 12 years of clinical experience. As a clinician, she specializes in helping people manage stress and anxiety, process trauma and abuse, cope with grief and loss, and build internal motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Her practice also addresses depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, parenting challenges, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and communication issues. She draws on evidence-informed methods tailored to each person's needs and life circumstances, and she emphasizes clients' strengths as central resources in the work of change.

Lisa approaches therapy with the belief that each person is the expert of their own story and already carries abilities that can support recovery and growth. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life often requires courage, and she offers steady professional support while collaborating with clients to set goals and build skills. Her background in social work guides a practical, empathic style that aims to help clients navigate transitions, rebuild connection, and increase resilience over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps people understand connection, trust, and emotional responses in close relationships and can be useful for attachment concerns and relationship difficulties. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening with empathy and supporting each person to find their own solutions - this approach emphasizes respect for the client's perspective and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common tool in her work, focusing on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to manage symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. Lisa works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques and pacing so therapy fits the individual rather than expecting the person to fit a single method.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support when in-person visits are difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these formats to provide focused, goal-oriented care that aligns with each person's circumstances.
