About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 12 years of experience as a clinician. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, anger, bipolar and mood concerns. Her practice also notes a focus on codependency and attachment issues.
She takes a straightforward approach in sessions. Conversations cover what’s happening now, how past experiences affect current patterns, and practical steps to change unhelpful habits. She listens for patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing a sense of self, and helps clients notice how those patterns show up in daily life.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior, client-centered methods that center the person’s own perspective, and cognitive behavioral tools to identify and change thinking and behavior. Dialectical behavior skills and EMDR are also part of her toolkit when they fit the client’s goals.
Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries, steadier emotion regulation, and more reliable coping skills. Clients often leave with specific practices they can try between meetings, like behavioral experiments, communication scripts, or grounding techniques. She encourages practical steps that can be used in real situations.
Lisa practices in New York and conducts sessions in English. She asks prospective clients to use the site pathway to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches inform online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. In practice this means talking about trust, closeness, and how patterns from past relationships show up now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions using CBT tend to include clear steps like identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors between meetings.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, try specific techniques, and adjust methods based on how the client responds. That collaborative exploration helps match skills and interventions to the client's practical needs, whether the focus is boundaries, codependency patterns, or mood regulation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let clients work through communication skills, emotion regulation exercises, and behavioral experiments between meetings in everyday settings.
