About Lisa

Lisa Hulsizer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults, children, adolescents, and teens on concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, family conflict, and life transitions. Lisa says she especially enjoys working with teenagers and young adults navigating big changes.

Her approach mixes practical strategies with conversational, person-focused work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice their values and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of sessions when thoughts and behavior patterns are getting in the way. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused techniques to help clients set goals and stay motivated.

Sessions typically include clear, short-term goals and skills practice people can use between meetings. Lisa often breaks down issues such as anger, self-esteem, or school stress into concrete steps. She will talk through what matters to each person and try approaches that fit their routine and rhythms.

Lisa’s background includes work with a wide range of concerns, from trauma and addictions to parenting and career pressures. She notes attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), grief, intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue among areas she addresses. Practical problem-solving and coaching are part of her toolbox for clients who want actionable change.

Outside clinical work, Lisa lives in central Florida with her fiance, a teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She enjoys video games, movies, and visits to local theme parks. To begin, readers are encouraged to check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Lisa blends approaches for online sessions

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and to take value-driven actions even when feelings are difficult. ACT can be useful for anger that keeps people stuck or for life changes where motivation is unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different responses; it often helps with anxiety, anger, and mood concerns by building concrete skills.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa discusses goals and preferences early on and adjusts methods as needed. That means trying practical tools first, checking how they land, and shifting strategy if something isn't helpful.

Confirm session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Remote sessions also let clients practice skills in their usual routines and bring real-life examples directly into conversation. Licensed professionals can use these formats to help clients build regular habits and apply techniques between meetings.
