About Lisa

Lisa McCann is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Vermont and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Hampshire with six years of professional experience. She works with adults on issues such as trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, motivation, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, stress, and ADHD. Her practice centers on practical conversations and steady support rather than labels or quick fixes.

She starts by listening to the client's story and recognizing the strengths already present. That means talking through current struggles, patterns that keep showing up, and what the client wants to change. Sessions focus on clear goals and actionable steps. Lisa uses approaches that help people notice thoughts and behaviors, try different responses, and build routines that work in everyday life.

Her work often addresses parenting stress, relationship tensions, and family-related strains such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care challenges, abandonment, and attachment concerns. She also supports people coping with life transitions, financial stress, isolation, and problems linked to substance use or domestic violence. Anger and impulsivity are mentioned as common areas she helps people manage.

In session she blends client-centered techniques with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior ideas. She also draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and track progress. Conversations are practical and oriented toward daily life changes rather than abstract theory.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her licensure in New Hampshire and Vermont. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and a first session is scheduled after selection of the online therapy options.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps people clarify what matters to them and choose steps that feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger management.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to test what helps and adjust methods over time. That means trying exercises, reviewing what works, and shifting toward strategies that fit the client's goals and daily routines.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose a setup that suits their energy level - for example, using audio only when video would be tiring, or scheduling a mid-day session to work through a specific work-related problem.
