About Lisa
Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, and life changes. She brings 8 years of experience and a practical, supportive style to sessions. Lisa aims to help clients feel more grounded and more connected to their values and choices.
Her approach centers on steady, realistic progress. She uses everyday tools clients can try between sessions. Lisa listens for each person’s strengths and patterns, then works alongside them to build clearer habits and responses.
Background and approach
Sessions often start by naming immediate problems like workplace stress, low self-esteem, grief, or communication struggles. From there Lisa and the client pick small, doable steps to reduce overwhelm and build confidence. She emphasizes what helps in daily life rather than long lists of theory.
She draws on several evidence-based methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Narrative Therapy. Those methods are used to shape practical strategies for mood, coping, and relationships. Lisa practices in Texas as a LCSW and LICSW.
She offers conversations that stay collaborative and respectful, with attention to each person’s history and goals. Her style suits people who want direct skills and steady emotional support while they make real changes.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes when a person wants more direction rather than getting stuck in mood swings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It works well for worry, low self-esteem, and coping with daily pressures. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening communication where anger, relationship strain, or overwhelm show up.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss these methods with each person and choose techniques together based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what is happening day to day. The process is collaborative, and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth or no camera is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting routines, workdays, and other life demands.
