Lisa Daly , LCSW, LSCSW

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri (LCSW) and a licensed specialist clinical social worker in Kansas (LSCSW) with 19 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families. She approaches therapy from a client-centered perspective, listening carefully before offering options and respecting that each person is the expert on their own life. Her practice emphasizes collaboration - she presents choices, welcomes feedback about what is or is not working, and will recommend referrals when a different kind of expertise is needed.

Lisa commonly works with people facing depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive challenges, relationship and marital conflict, midlife transitions, aging and caregiver issues, grief and loss, parenting concerns, addiction, trauma, LGBT matters, and faith-based questions. She also addresses related areas such as self-esteem, communication problems, codependency, and coping with life changes. Her style is nonjudgmental and supportive, encouraging clearer communication, stronger self-worth, and practical strategies to reach the goals clients identify.

Believing in the value of focused, short-term work when appropriate, Lisa tailors her approach to each person or family and aims to help clients make meaningful progress toward the life they want. She values the courage it takes to seek help and treats that decision with care and respect.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa Daly uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s perspective at the heart of each session - the therapist listens deeply, reflects understanding, and helps clients identify goals that feel authentic and achievable. This approach suits people seeking respectful, collaborative support for a wide range of life concerns.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and uses practical tools to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Additionally, Lisa draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples and families to help partners identify underlying emotions and build stronger emotional connection and communication.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Lisa works with each person or family to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend sessions from home, coordinate with busy routines, and maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable, while still working with licensed professionals focused on meaningful therapeutic progress.
