About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a New York LCSW with 25 years of clinical experience. She is bilingual in English and Spanish and has worked across settings with many concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship problems, parenting stress, and anger. She also brings personal perspective as a first-generation Puerto Rican Latinx clinician from New York City and has taught at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work as an adjunct professor for several years.
She starts by asking straightforward questions to understand what you are facing now. She reviews symptoms, history, relationships, strengths, and goals. From there she and the client map out a treatment plan that targets the most pressing problems and fits day-to-day life.
Her approach combines practical strategies with attention to emotion and values. She uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These approaches inform skills work, emotion regulation, and clarifying what matters most to each person.
Sessions focus on concrete steps - learning coping skills, changing unhelpful patterns, improving communication, and handling strong feelings such as anger or grief. She also addresses issues that overlap with mental and physical health, including chronic illness, caregiving stress, and body image concerns.
Lisa invites questions about the process and what to expect in a first meeting. She explains next steps clearly so people can decide if the plan feels workable for them.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for managing anger, stress, and decisions about relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practicing different responses. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and changing reactions that fuel resentment or snapping at others. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that people use when strong feelings arise.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences with you and recommend methods that fit. Over the first few meetings she and the client assess what works and adjust the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Different formats also suit different needs - for example, phone check-ins may be shorter and easier during a work break, while video sessions permit visual coaching of skills and role plays. Discuss practical scheduling and format preferences when arranging the first appointment.
