About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a New York licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and brings a practical, down-to-earth approach to common life struggles. She greets new clients with warmth and simple steps to begin working together.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree from Antioch University and a graduate degree from New York University. She has taught as an adjunct professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work for nine years and is beginning doctoral studies.
Background and approach
Those roles keep her connected to current ideas and classroom practice. In clinical work she asks clear questions about history, symptoms, and current challenges. She listens for strengths, relationships, and goals.
From there she outlines a straightforward plan that focuses on the concerns you name and how those issues show up in daily life. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy difficulties, parenting and family stress, ADHD-related symptoms, eating and body image issues, chronic illness and caregiver strain.
She also helps with career questions, coping with major life changes, and compassion fatigue. Sessions aim to be collaborative. She explains options, talks through methods that might help, and checks that the plan fits your priorities.
If the initial discussion feels like a workable path, she and the client decide on next steps together.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotion and attachment in close relationships. In online sessions this means exploring patterns in how partners or individuals respond to strong feelings and helping people name and shift those patterns to improve connection and safety.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by building small, consistent habits.
Client-Centered Therapy places the client’s experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client's lead, helping them feel heard while they decide what changes matter most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to identify which methods match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That may mean combining elements from EFT, ACT, or client-centered listening and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deep emotional work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick reflections, journaling-style moments, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady progress.
