Lisa Leong, LCSW, LICSW

Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people handle stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes. She uses straightforward, practical steps so clients can build steady progress. Sessions focus on usable tools and clearer thinking rather than long explanations. With eight years of experience, Lisa draws on several counseling approaches to match what each person needs. She works with issues such as low self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, workplace stress, communication problems, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, bipolar challenges, compassion fatigue, and major transitions. Her style is supportive and collaborative. She asks about a person’s history and strengths, then helps create small, manageable goals. Lisa stays steady through hard moments and adjusts the plan as progress is made. Clients can expect to learn practical skills for handling overwhelming thoughts, managing strong emotions, and improving everyday interactions. Techniques are chosen to fit the person rather than forcing a single method. Lisa holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and works from Texas. She conducts sessions in English and focuses on helping individuals create clearer boundaries, better communication, and more reliable coping strategies.

Background and approach: Lisa trained in approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy, among others. She blends these methods to address patterns like people pleasing, perfectionism, avoidance, codependency, and attachment difficulties. Her work often includes narrative elements to help people reframe painful stories and DBT-informed skills to manage intense feelings. Over time, the aim is to increase self-connection and practical coping so everyday life feels more manageable and purposeful.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts while committing to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small steps toward it. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, low mood, and relationship-related thinking traps. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and relies on empathy and listening to guide change; it helps people feel heard and clearer about their next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress occurs, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid commute time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people practice skills in their daily life between sessions. Licensed professionals guide the choice of techniques so the work fits each person’s situation and goals.
