Lisa Daly, LCSW, LSCSW

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She works in Missouri and brings a practical, straightforward style to therapy. Lisa listens first and focuses on what each person says they need.

Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with client-centered and emotionally-focused techniques. She offers short-term, goal-oriented work when that fits, and she lays out options so people can choose what feels right. If a need falls outside her scope, she will suggest a referral.

In sessions she aims to reduce overwhelm and improve communication. Lisa helps people address OCD symptoms, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, intimacy issues, and midlife transitions. She also supports people coping with aging and caregiver stress.

Lisa draws on 19 years of practice to provide clear, plain-language guidance rather than jargon. She invites feedback during therapy so adjustments can be made if something isn’t working. Her style is respectful and nonjudgmental.

People come to her for help with mood disorders, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder, and problems like guilt, shame, and isolation. She also works with clients around life purpose, forgiveness, and family-of-origin concerns. Sessions aim to build skills people can use between meetings.

Therapy approaches and online sessions that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening deeply and following the person’s lead. The therapist reflects what is shared, helps name feelings, and offers choices so people decide which steps to take. This approach helps when someone feels stuck, unsure, or needs a safe place to sort priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. It breaks concerns into manageable parts and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or handle compulsive behaviors. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools they can practice between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to how emotions shape relationships and personal choices. It helps people notice how feelings drive responses and works on changing those patterns to improve connection and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they pick methods and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people read expressions and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing support, or a quick strategy between appointments. These options help fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
