About Lisa
Lisa Butrymowicz is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with 23 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical next steps that feel manageable.
Her sessions are guided by what each person needs. She listens first and then tailors conversation and goals to fit someone’s life. That can mean working on clear communication, managing mood swings, or making sense of past hurts that still affect daily living.
Background and approach
Lisa uses a mix of approaches drawn from Narrative, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and attachment-informed work. She draws out personal stories people tell about themselves, looks for values to guide choices, and pays attention to how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress and needs change.
People can expect a respectful and compassionate tone. Lisa emphasizes collaboration and small, achievable steps so change feels possible. She helps clients name patterns, try new ways of responding, and track what works.
Her practice also addresses topics like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving strain, codependency, communication problems, and challenges related to blended families. Lisa works with adults across a wide range of concerns and shapes therapy to each person’s goals.

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 work and ACT fit online therapy
Lisa combines Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas to help people make sense of their experiences. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative narratives that open up new choices. It can help when past events keep shaping current behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take action toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings.She treats finding the right approach as a shared process. In early sessions she listens to your goals and tries different methods to see what helps most. Together you track progress and adjust techniques so the work stays relevant and realistic for your life.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera feels better. Live chat and text options are handy for brief check-ins, quick coping tools, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, caregiving, or travel.
