Lisa Meotti, LCSW

Lisa Meotti is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people through difficult life moments. She practices in Florida and focuses on practical, down-to-earth work that meets people where they are. Lisa aims to create an affirming space for people across a range of identities and backgrounds. She helps people facing addiction, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with stress, intimacy questions, and relationship challenges where communication and connection are strained. Her work includes issues connected to adoption and foster care, attachment struggles, caregiver stress, and codependency. Lisa uses a mix of proven approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and attachment-based work to strengthen values and relationship patterns. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps. People leave with tools for handling intense emotions, clearer communication habits, and ways to reduce behavior that fuels addiction or avoidance. Lisa keeps language simple and focuses on what can change between sessions. People who contact Lisa usually want practical skills plus emotional understanding. She works collaboratively, matching methods to what feels most useful. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at steady progress rather than quick fixes.

How these approaches translate to online work

CBT focuses on how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and choices. Online sessions use conversation and short exercises to spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviors, and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values. In online meetings this looks like values clarification exercises, brief mindfulness practices, and planning doable actions for everyday life.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. Through discussion and reflective exercises, the work helps people notice interaction styles and practice different ways of relating to reduce conflict and emotional distance.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean mixing CBT tools with acceptance or attachment-focused exercises based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text work well for ongoing check-ins, quick skill coaching, or when someone prefers written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
