About Lisa

Lisa Daly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in Kansas (LSCSW). She has 19 years of clinical experience helping adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, and anger. Her work is grounded in straightforward conversation and practical steps rather than lectures or long theory sessions.

She uses a client-centered stance that begins with listening. Lisa treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and offers options to try. If something in therapy isn’t working, she invites frank feedback so they can change course or arrange a referral when another approach would fit better.

Lisa draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot thought and behavior patterns that keep problems running. She also uses emotionally-focused methods to help people name and shift the feelings behind conflict. Solution-focused work is part of her toolbox when clients want clear, short-term goals to test between sessions.

Her background includes long-term work with mood disorders, OCD, addictions, midlife transitions, aging and caregiver stress, and family-of-origin problems. She addresses intimacy issues, codependency, guilt and shame, and challenges tied to identity and LGBT concerns.

Sessions tend to aim for measurable progress and clearer communication rather than open-ended exploration. Lisa also supports clients coping with life changes such as divorce, bereavement, or a new diagnosis. She offers referrals when a different specialty is needed.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making room for the client’s priorities. Online work using this approach means sessions start with the client’s immediate concerns and develop goals together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online CBT often uses brief exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and shift underlying feelings that drive conflict, which can be addressed through guided conversations and practice in sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the focus if a different method would work better or if a referral is needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when that helps. They can also let someone keep therapy going through life changes, coordinate around caregiving, or balance work commitments while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
