About Lisa
Lisa Seidel is a New York LCSW-R with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and challenges related to family and parenting. She also has experience with compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, LGBT concerns, and young adult issues.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are used to name the problem, sort out priorities, and build small, manageable changes. She adapts language and pace to each person and keeps plans realistic for everyday life.
Her background includes long-term clinical work in New York settings where she saw a wide range of life-stage and crisis issues. Over two decades she has helped people who are coping with loss, workplace stress, and the complicated effects of trauma. That breadth informs how she frames goals and next steps.
In sessions she balances listening with concrete options people can try between meetings. Treatment planning is collaborative and reviewed as needs shift. She encourages practical strategies for mood, relationships, and handling repeated stressors.
People often come wanting help with transitions - finishing school, starting a job, moving out, or handling the added pressure of relationships and family expectations. She offers direct, paced support aimed at making those early-adult steps easier to manage.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions. One common approach focuses on skills training for anxiety and mood - learning simple tools to manage worry, reduce overwhelm, and track small changes in behavior. This helps with daily stress and low mood by giving short, repeatable practices.Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care that recognizes how past hurt can shape reactions now. This involves pacing the work, naming patterns, and practicing strategies to reduce reactivity when memories or triggers arise. It is useful for people coping with abuse, repeated stress, or compassion fatigue.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process guides whether sessions emphasize skills, problem-solving, or slower trauma-focused work.
