Lisa Moranz , LCSW

Lisa Moranz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She supports people who are managing stress and anxiety, working through trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, and building the internal motivation and self-esteem needed to move forward. Her approach emphasizes each person as the expert of their own life, and she works from a strengths-based perspective to help clients mobilize their existing resources and develop new skills.

Lisa focuses on creating a collaborative, respectful therapeutic relationship in which clients’ goals guide the work. She believes that taking the first step toward a more satisfying and meaningful life requires courage, and she provides steady support as people explore challenges, process difficult feelings, and practice new ways of relating to themselves and others. As an LCSW Lisa has formal training to provide clinical therapy and to address complex emotional and relational issues.

Throughout her practice she helps clients build confidence, clarify values, and develop practical coping strategies so they can navigate life transitions, restore connection, and pursue greater well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor care to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and how early connections shape current relationships - it can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals, creating a supportive space for self-exploration and growth. CBT teaches practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively to determine what fits a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She integrates techniques as needed and adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to access care from home, work, or on the go. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow continuity during life transitions, and let clients engage in therapy in ways that suit their communication style and daily routines.
