Lisa Mulholland, LCSW

Lisa Mulholland is a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of experience based in New Mexico. She helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. Lisa aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and supported.

She creates a calm space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. Lisa encourages small, realistic changes that add up over time.

Her work often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and narrative approaches. That mix helps people spot unhelpful thinking, strengthen motivation, and reframe painful personal stories. She also uses solution-focused strategies to set short-term goals and track progress.

Lisa draws on 13 years of professional practice to tailor care to each person’s situation. She can help with issues that overlap, such as grief after a separation, struggles with body image, or compulsive behaviors. Her background includes supporting people through life transitions and trauma-related concerns.

Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisa works with people who want straightforward, down-to-earth help to feel more in control and move toward their goals.

How different approaches work online

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can ease symptoms of depression, anxiety, and compulsive habits. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to build a person’s readiness for change by identifying values and resolving mixed feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helping and what is not working.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not practical. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, tracking goals, and staying connected between longer appointments. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
