About Lisa
Lisa Alberty is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in New York. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and brings eight years of professional experience to her work. Lisa focuses on helping people who are struggling with relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
She uses straightforward, respectful language and adapts conversations to each person. Sessions are built around what matters most to the client, not a one-size-fits-all script. Lisa emphasizes sensitivity and compassion while helping people find practical steps forward.
In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used when people want clear strategies to change thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices are offered to help with emotion regulation and staying present.
Lisa also brings client-centered and motivational interviewing approaches into the work. That means listening carefully, reflecting what she hears, and helping clients clarify their own goals. She aims to empower people to make choices that fit their values and life circumstances.
People often come for help after a loss, during a painful breakup, or when anger and shame feel overwhelming. Lisa helps untangle those feelings and supports people in making concrete changes. To begin, she asks questions to match therapy to each person’s needs and preferences.
Approaches that translate well to remote work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present patterns. In simple terms, it helps people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting when old habits cause pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small experiments. It is useful when people want practical steps to manage mood, anxiety, or anger.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together you will try methods that fit your situation and adjust them over time based on what helps.
Confirm the current session options before booking to learn which online formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. They also let people engage in work on emotions, communication, and coping skills from familiar routines, while still working with a licensed professional to guide the process.
