About Lisa
Lisa Calloway is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She has 24 years of experience and brings a calm, steady presence to conversations about hard things. People meet her when they want practical help and a place to talk without judgment.
She focuses on making the first steps easier. Sessions are intended to be a space to name what is overwhelming and try simple, usable strategies. Lisa uses listening and clear feedback to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck and test small changes that can feel manageable.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and responds, keeping the client's priorities central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used when looking at thoughts and behaviors that feed anxiety or low mood.
Over two decades of practice have included work with caregivers, people facing workplace stress, first responders, and those adjusting to life changes like divorce or midlife shifts. She also supports people dealing with panic disorder and panic attacks and with social anxiety and phobia.
Lisa works with each person to set clear, realistic goals and to track progress together. She aims for practical tools clients can use outside sessions, and for conversations that make the next day feel a little more doable.
How these approaches work in online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs a steady, understanding ear and support to name what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and low mood. These methods are often used together to address panic, social anxiety, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to solve, then recommend techniques that fit. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not listed specifically in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins when days are tight, or let someone choose a session style that avoids being on camera. Licensed professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people stay consistent with their work.
