About Lisa
Lisa Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker with ten years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. She practices in Arizona and aims to make the first steps toward change feel achievable and supported. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She creates space for people to talk through painful memories and current worries without judgment. Sessions focus on whatever feels most pressing, whether that is coping after loss or handling day-to-day anxiety.
Background and approach
Lisa uses practical tools alongside listening. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and from Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, doable goals. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs how she addresses difficult past experiences while keeping the client’s pace in mind.
Many sessions look like a mix of checking in, teaching a coping skill, and trying a small behavioral change between meetings. Lisa also pays attention to family dynamics and parenting concerns, helping parents find clearer routines and calmer communication at home. She holds an LCSW and is licensed in Arizona and Nevada as NV LCSW and AZ LCSW.
Work is offered in English and tailored to each person’s needs. Getting started typically involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters to the person in the room. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping people make choices that feel right for them. This approach is useful for parents and adults who want a respectful, nonjudgmental space to sort through emotions and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple skills to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, and stress and gives clear steps people can practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods to the person’s goals, preferences, and current challenges. That shared process helps make each session feel practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, while phone sessions work when bandwidth or visual focus is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a day and keep progress moving forward.
