About Lisa
Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, parenting concerns, grief, and anger. She also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career shifts, and coping with life changes.
Lisa uses a practical, conversational style. She listens first and then helps clients name patterns that get in the way. Sessions focus on clear skills and small experiments to test what actually works in everyday life. Clients learn ways to notice thoughts and feelings, respond differently, and practice new habits between sessions.
Her background includes work across nonprofit, private practice, higher education, and community settings. That range informs an approach that moves between longer-term therapy and shorter, goal-focused work depending on what a person needs. She draws on several evidence-informed methods to match the client and the problem at hand.
Common topics she addresses include trauma and abuse, family and blended family issues, abandonment and commitment concerns, and communication problems. She also helps with panic and phobias, seasonal affective disorder, and challenges around guilt, shame, and isolation.
Clients can expect collaborative planning at the start of work together. Lisa emphasizes building on existing strengths while creating practical steps for change. Her work blends emotion-focused listening with cognitive tools and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on recognizing and naming emotions in the moment to improve connection and reduce reactive patterns in relationships.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy ideas, which emphasize listening and working from the client's priorities. Deciding which approach or combination to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims, adjusting as progress is seen.
If you plan to meet online, confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into workdays, allow for shorter check-ins, or let them join without traveling. Online work makes it straightforward to practice new skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation during the session.
