Lisa Alberty , LCSW

Lisa Alberty is a licensed, bilingual social worker practicing in New York who brings eight years of professional experience to her work with individuals and families. As an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - she combines clinical training with a compassionate, respectful approach to help clients navigate relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and anger management.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, she adapts conversations and treatment plans to the language and cultural context that best serve each person. She emphasizes sensitivity and respect in every interaction, tailoring therapy to the client’s unique needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Lisa focuses on empowering people to take the steps needed for a more fulfilling life, acknowledging that seeking change requires courage. She works collaboratively to shape goals and interventions, offering support and practical guidance as clients work through difficult emotions and life transitions. Her practice centers on individualized care that honors each client’s experience and strengths.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address relationship patterns, emotional wounds, and day-to-day coping. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early bonds influence current relationships and can help with attachment issues, codependency, and communication problems. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, offering a nonjudgmental space where autonomy and personal strengths guide the process, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and processing grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies for change, making it effective for concerns like anger, impulsivity, and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains a good fit. This collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to what each person finds most useful.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around busy lives, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity during major life transitions, while allowing licensed professionals to provide structured support in a range of formats.
