Lisa McCann, LICSW, LCSW

Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice. Lisa focuses on practical steps people can use to feel steadier and more capable in daily life.

She often helps people manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and life transitions. Parenting concerns, relationship strain, and issues connected to trauma and abuse are common topics she addresses. Lisa also works with attention-related challenges such as ADHD and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and builds on strengths already present. Sessions are aimed at clear goals and small, achievable changes rather than long lists of abstract tasks.

Lisa uses a mix of approaches that include cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered listening, and practical skills from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work. That combination helps people break down problems, test new ways of coping, and carry changes into everyday routines.

People who choose her usually want hands-on tools and a calm, nonjudgmental partner in problem solving. She explains ideas in plain language and focuses on what will make a difference this week and this month.

Practical approaches for online support

Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT is goal oriented and useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day problems where changing thought and behavior patterns can bring relief.

She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and meeting people where they are. This approach helps create space for people to talk through personal decisions and feel understood as they work toward change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa will work collaboratively to choose techniques that fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single method. Together they can try different tools and adjust what isn't working.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are useful for quick check-ins or shorter coaching-style contacts. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent during busy weeks and to use skills in real time.
