About Lisa
Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of clinical experience in New York. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and issues like obsessive thoughts and mood swings. Many who come to her are dealing with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, or questions about identity and addiction.
She offers straightforward support and practical steps people can use right away. Her approach blends several methods to match what each person needs.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas are used to reduce internal fighting and build tolerance for difficult emotions. Lisa also incorporates client-centered work, so sessions are guided by the person’s own goals and pace.
For people with strong emotions or impulsive behaviors, she draws on dialectical skills to teach coping and regulation tools. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those issues come up in sessions. Sessions tend to be practical and conversational.
Lisa helps people set small, doable goals and practices between meetings. She explains concepts in plain language and checks in about how strategies are working. Clients who are parenting or worried about family dynamics will find a therapeutic ally who focuses on communication, boundaries, and self-care.
She works in English and provides a range of online session formats to fit different schedules and needs.

How her approaches translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and parenting stress when choices feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors to change mood and reactions; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and obsessive thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and pace, offering nonjudgmental listening and support while choices and direction come from the client.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try methods, check what’s working, and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls recreate face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging offer brief check-ins or supplemental support between sessions. These options increase flexibility for scheduling, reduce travel time, and let people pick the format that suits their routine and comfort.
