About Lisa
Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and life changes. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping clients feel heard and understood.
Her approach combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening and practical tools from cognitive behavioral techniques. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns in thoughts and feelings and on small, workable strategies to change unhelpful habits.
Background and approach
She uses mindfulness and solution-focused steps when they fit a person's goals. Lisa has worked in nonprofit, independent practice, higher education, and community settings. That background shapes a flexible way of working that fits different life rhythms and schedules.
She pays attention to what a person brings in the moment and adjusts the pace accordingly. People often come for help with parenting stress, grief, compassion fatigue, relationship communication, panic symptoms, or career transitions. She also supports those facing issues like abandonment, commitment concerns, blended family problems, and feelings of emptiness or guilt.
Therapy typically focuses on building practical skills and emotional understanding. Together clients and Lisa set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and check progress over time. The aim is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on how feelings shape relationships and personal patterns. Online sessions using this approach often look at key moments in relationships or personal reactions and help people name and shift the emotional responses that keep them stuck.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. In remote sessions the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting what is said and helping the person feel understood before moving toward change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises. Over video or messaging, clients and the therapist identify patterns, try small behavioral experiments, and practice tools between sessions to build lasting skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit. The process is collaborative, with adjustments made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can require less bandwidth, live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins or brief coaching between appointments. These options make it easier to keep steady momentum and fit sessions into work, school, or family commitments.
