Lisa Leong

Lisa Leong is a licensed social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She brings a steady, practical approach and focuses on small, sustainable steps people can use each day. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, aimed at helping clients feel more grounded and clear about next steps.

She works with individuals on issues such as low self-esteem, workplace stress, social anxiety, and relationship concerns. She also supports people coping with loss, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of aging. Lisa pays attention to each person’s history and strengths when choosing how to work together.

In sessions she emphasizes tools that fit a person’s life. That can mean building routines, practicing new ways of communicating, or developing skills for managing intense emotions. The focus is on making steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Her clinical approach draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among others. These approaches inform practical exercises and real-world strategies used in therapy.

Lisa holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and brings eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults navigating career stress, parenting challenges, identity questions, and grief. Prospective clients who want to explore a steady, collaborative path through difficult times may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect personal values. It can be helpful for grief, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so clients can find their own solutions and gain confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. That may mean trying a skill from CBT one week and a values-based exercise from ACT the next, adjusting as progress and needs emerge.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and support steady work through grief, stress, and life transitions. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and tailor the pacing and tools to what works for each person.
