About Lisa

Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and family conflicts, and mood-related issues.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience and a long history in human services, she draws on a range of methods to help clients manage life transitions, process painful memories, and rebuild confidence and motivation. Her style centers on respectful collaboration, treating each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and practical tools.

Lisa integrates approaches such as Internal Family Systems, attachment-informed work, client-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT techniques to tailor care to individual needs. She pays attention to patterns like dissociation, codependency, and attachment difficulties while addressing concerns from burnout and compassion fatigue to bipolar and seasonal mood shifts.

Based in New York and working in English, Lisa brings a calm, strengths-based presence to the therapeutic relationship. She emphasizes gradual, sustainable change and partners with clients to set realistic goals, build coping skills, and reclaim a sense of purpose and connection.

How integrative approaches translate to online therapy

Lisa uses Internal Family Systems to help people notice and dialogue with different internal parts, which can clarify inner conflicts and reduce self-criticism - a useful way to approach anxiety, trauma responses, and identity struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy is also central, focusing on relational patterns and how early connections shape current relationships and emotional regulation; that work often helps with intimacy, family dynamics, and codependency.

Therapy is collaborative, and finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works with clients to explore which combination of methods fits their goals, preferences, and the practical realities of their lives, making adjustments as trust and insight develop.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills in daily life, and access therapeutic tools from home or on the go while coordinating around work, family, and other commitments.
