About Lisa
Lisa Moranz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She works with individuals facing depression, addictions, relationship and family tensions, parenting concerns, and challenges like compassion fatigue or major life changes.
Lisa writes in a direct, practical way and aims to make the first step easier for worried parents and caregivers. Her style centers on listening and building on a person's strengths.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to help people feel more in control of day-to-day problems. Sessions often include skills for coping, ways to shift unhelpful thoughts, and guided work to process painful memories when needed. Lisa blends several approaches to meet real needs.
Attachment-based ideas help people understand patterns in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers concrete steps to change thoughts and behaviors. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, can be used for people who are processing trauma.
She brings 12 years of direct therapy experience to her work and has a longer background in human services. That experience shapes how she supports people through transitions, mood struggles, and intense life stressors. The tone is collaborative and grounded.
People who choose her can expect a practical, supportive space where goals are clear. The focus is on small, doable changes that build confidence and reduce overwhelm over time.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting and life stress
Lisa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice how early and current relationships shape stress, closeness, and parenting patterns. This approach looks at emotional bonds and teaches ways to shift long-standing interaction styles that cause friction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT gives clear, step-by-step tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and daily parenting challenges.
EMDR is offered when trauma memories are a barrier to functioning. It involves structured processing of distressing memories so they hold less intensity and get in the way of parenting or daily life less often.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, symptoms, and personal preferences to recommend strategies that fit each person's situation. That plan can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and deeper processing, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text are useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options aim to make consistent work possible across workdays, school schedules, or caregiving responsibilities.
