Lisa Leong, LCSW, LICSW

Lisa Leong is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) and a LICSW with eight years of clinical experience based in Texas. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, grief, anger, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit daily life rather than abstract theory.

Her approach is straightforward and problem-focused. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people notice patterns, test new habits, and manage strong feelings. Work in sessions includes skill-building, noticing unhelpful thinking, and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings.

Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She listens to a person's history and priorities, then maps out workable strategies together. The emphasis is on steady progress and on techniques that feel sustainable for each person’s routine.

For relationship and communication concerns, she helps people name interaction patterns and practice different responses. For anger and stress she pairs emotion regulation skills with concrete plans for handling triggering situations. For grief and identity questions she uses narrative and client-centered methods to help people organize experiences and regain a sense of direction.

She also addresses caregiving stress, codependency, commitment concerns, and work-related pressure. Sessions aim to build clearer boundaries, better problem solving, and more consistent self-management. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
