About Lisa

Lisa Alberty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has eight years of clinical experience. Lisa focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

She aims to make conversations clear and grounded so people can take small steps forward. Clients can expect a straightforward, respectful approach. Lisa listens first and then helps shape a plan that fits each person's needs.

Background and approach

She adapts sessions to the issue at hand and to what the client finds most helpful. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life change. Her work often addresses attachment issues, communication problems, and family of origin concerns that affect day-to-day relationships.

She also supports people dealing with codependency, control issues, dissociation, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. Lisa brings these topics into conversation so patterns become easier to understand. Lisa uses several therapeutic styles to meet different needs.

She draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe their stories and on Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to strengthen emotional connection and self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools are available for managing distressing thoughts and intense emotions. She believes change starts with honest conversation and small experiments outside sessions.

Lisa invites people to explore life purpose, process guilt and shame, and repair relationships through clearer communication. Her goal is practical progress, one step at a time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Lisa directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and attachment work online

Lisa uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. By naming and reauthoring those stories, clients often find new choices and relief from limiting patterns.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early bonds shape present reactions. This approach helps people recognize emotional patterns and build healthier ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy guides the process with a focus on the person nd what matters most to them, allowing pacing and direction to come from the client.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat fits shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it around work, school, and family demands.
