About Lisa

Lisa Kuzman holds an LISW (Licensed Independent Social Worker) credential and brings 17 years of professional experience to her practice. She is licensed in Iowa and South Dakota and has focused her work on helping people navigate grief and loss, career challenges, and major life transitions, as well as providing executive and professional coaching. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and applies trauma-informed principles to shape conversations and care in ways that honor each individual’s history and needs.

Lisa customizes dialogue and treatment plans to match a person’s specific circumstances, recognizing that no two situations are alike. She supports clients through periods of change and helps them build practical coping strategies, whether they are facing the aftermath of trauma, rethinking career direction, or adjusting to a significant loss. Lisa emphasizes collaboration, inviting clients to take an active role in identifying goals and determining the pace of work.

Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and satisfying life can feel daunting, and Lisa views that step as an act of courage. She offers steady support and guidance throughout the process, aiming to help people move toward clearer purpose, better coping, and renewed resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s priorities and values guide the work. This approach helps when someone needs to explore identity, meaning, or personal goals at their own pace. She also integrates mindfulness therapy, teaching simple awareness exercises and grounding techniques that can reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation, useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to help people clarify their own reasons for change and find practical steps forward when motivation feels uncertain or ambivalent.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust methods and pace so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Lisa is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access sessions from home or while traveling and allow continuity of care even when life is busy or changing. Licensed professionals can tailor session length, frequency, and communication style to match each client’s circumstances and goals.
