Lisa Zamber, LCSW

Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, practical support for people facing mood and anxiety struggles. Parents reading on a phone will find concise, direct language and a calm presence in sessions.

Her work focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. She also addresses trauma and abuse, obsessions and compulsions, and problems with self-esteem and body image. Lisa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with acceptance-based and client-centered ideas to help people change patterns that cause pain.

Sessions move at a steady, practical pace. Lisa helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, practice new responses, and build habits that fit daily life. She uses mindfulness and emotion-regulation skills when they help someone feel steadier in the moment.

She brings particular attention to issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and communication problems. Lisa also works with concerns such as addiction, grief, anger, and identity questions within the LGBT experience. The approach is collaborative and focused on real-world change.

Based in New York, Lisa combines structured techniques with a warm, listening style. She aims to make therapy understandable and usable. The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying relationships.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to change patterns that increase anxiety or low mood.

She also applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which encourages noticing painful thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing values-guided actions. This approach helps when avoidance or over-control get in the way of a satisfying life.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try based on goals and preferences. She adapts techniques so they suit a client's daily routine and challenges rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, supplementing work between sessions, or when a shorter touchpoint is needed. These options let people fit therapy into work, family, or busy schedules while keeping consistent progress.
