Lisa Hulsizer , LCSW

Lisa Hulsizer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with ten years of clinical experience supporting children, adolescents, teens, young adults, and adults. She has a particular passion for working with teenagers and young adults, recognizing how those transitional years bring rapid change and opportunities for growth. Lisa addresses a broad spectrum of concerns, including depression, anxiety, school-related challenges, relationship struggles, self-harm and suicidal ideation, anger, major life changes, self-esteem issues, and family conflict. She tailors a blend of therapeutic techniques to each person's needs so sessions are guided by what will best support the individual at that time. Her goal is to create a setting where clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported as they work toward their goals.

Outside of clinical work, Lisa lives in central Florida with her fiance, teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She enjoys playing video games, watching movies with a fondness for Marvel titles, and taking advantage of the nearby theme parks. Lisa looks forward to connecting with people who are ready to explore change and build coping skills for life’s challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them. ACT focuses on values-based action and can be useful for managing stress, anxiety, and the uncertainty that accompanies life changes.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the client's experience and priorities. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, and it can be especially helpful when building self-esteem, improving relationships, or navigating identity and developmental transitions.

Lisa incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT is often applied to anxiety, depression, and problem-solving around everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made.

Online sessions offer flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of support across locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
