About Lisa
Lisa Levin, LCSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, or past trauma. She speaks plainly and aims to reduce suffering so people can function better day to day. Her work focuses on practical steps and real change rather than long explanations.
Lisa brings about 20 years of clinical experience in varied settings, including time spent outside the United States. She sees trauma broadly, acknowledging that painful experiences can come from repeated mistreatment, microaggressions, or a lack of emotional support.
Background and approach
She also addresses many forms of addiction beyond substances, such as behaviors around relationships, sex, gambling, shopping, and gaming. Her approach mixes narrative ideas with acceptance and behavior-based methods. She pays attention to how life stories shape feelings and choices, and she uses strategies to shift unhelpful patterns.
Attachment ideas are used to understand relationship habits and how early care affects current connections. Lisa also focuses on social justice and equity. She works with people affected by discrimination and racism, and she supports clients from LGBTQIA+ and communities of color in reclaiming agency and voice after hurtful experiences.
Sessions can include a range of options and practical techniques tailored to a person's needs. Lisa aims to meet people where they are and to try approaches that help move them toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.

Online session options
How Narrative and Acceptance-Based Work Translate Online
Online sessions can use Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the story they tell about themselves. That work looks at the meanings people carry and helps create alternative, more helpful ways to understand painful events. It is useful for trauma, self-esteem, and relationship issues.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It teaches practical exercises to align daily actions with personal values and is helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based ideas are used to understand patterns in relationships and to try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you can adjust techniques over time if something does not feel helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
