About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She offers practical support for trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting strain. Her work also covers mood disorders, burnout and compassion fatigue, and struggles with guilt, shame, or loneliness.
She uses straightforward, person-focused care. Sessions center on the client's goals and strengths. Lisa listens first, then suggests tools that fit the person's life.
Background and approach
She leans on gentle skills practice and clear steps rather than jargon or long lectures. Over 12 years as a therapist, Lisa has combined several approaches to meet real problems. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current bonds.
Cognitive behavioral techniques help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is among the approaches she uses when trauma memories need targeted attention. Her style is calm and collaborative.
She aims to make sessions useful from the start, with short-term strategies and longer-term work when needed. Treatment plans are adapted as progress is made and new concerns arise. Lisa practices in New York and conducts sessions in English.
Her background in human services complements clinical work, so she often brings practical problem solving into emotional healing. She encourages small, steady steps toward more stable mood and clearer relationships.

Online support
Online approaches and how they work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotions. In online sessions this approach helps people identify patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and respected. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions and build confidence in decisions.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used when past traumatic memories continue to cause distress. In an online setting EMDR techniques are adapted to guide attention and process memories while the therapist provides step-by-step support.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then recommend options and adjust the plan as progress happens. That collaborative process helps match methods to each person's needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving routines, or other time constraints while keeping treatment consistent.
