About Alisa
Alisa Hartfield Cordero is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in Texas with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults on common problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and anger. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, motivation, and coping with life changes.
Alisa approaches work with a straightforward stance. She treats clients as the experts on their own stories and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes long-term work across a range of concerns. That experience informs how she helps people handle grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and career stress. She also supports clients facing blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging or geriatric concerns.
In conversations about relationship struggles, Alisa addresses communication problems, infidelity, forgiveness, and intimacy-related issues. For people coping with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, or post-traumatic stress, she works toward manageable strategies to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented. The focus is on small changes that reduce reactivity at home and at work. Alisa encourages clients to notice what already works and then build new habits from there.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Alisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and behavior change. One common approach she uses emphasizes practical coping skills - short exercises and routines that reduce stress, manage anger, and improve sleep. These tools are useful when reactivity builds at work or home.Another approach centers on strengthening communication and interpersonal skills. This involves clear, step-by-step practice for expressing needs, setting boundaries, and repairing conflict. It aims to reduce escalation and improve day-to-day interactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change. That means adjusting techniques as progress is made.
