About Lisa
Lisa Gore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship strain, family issues, self-esteem, career questions, and anger. Her focus also includes stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, depression, ADHD, and life changes.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations center on current problems, responses, and small changes that can make daily life easier. That might mean looking at communication habits, identifying patterns that escalate anger, or planning concrete steps to manage stress at work.
Lisa adapts how she talks and plans work based on what each person needs. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide decisions about what to try first. The therapist explains options plainly and helps people choose approaches that match their goals.
Her background includes community and clinical work across a range of settings over a decade. That experience informs how she notices patterns and helps people spot where change is possible. Sessions aim to be direct and useful rather than theoretical.
Practical problems get practical plans. People who come for help with anger often leave with clearer ways to respond in the moment, steps to reduce buildup, and small experiments to try between sessions. To begin, prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work in straightforward ways. Cognitive-behavioral style strategies help people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes to reduce anger and stress. These techniques are useful for challenges like workplace frustration, recurring arguments, and mood shifts.She also integrates problem-focused coaching methods that break big problems into manageable steps. That approach helps with career decisions, motivation, and building confidence after setbacks. Together these methods aim to offer clear experiments clients can try between sessions and then review.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to choose approaches based on a person's goals, daily demands, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Clients and therapist check progress and adjust plans as they go.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and fit sessions into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove commute time. Many people find that remote sessions help keep momentum between meetings and make it simpler to try new skills in real life.
