About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and has six years of professional experience supporting people through difficult moments. Lisa focuses on practical, day-to-day steps that help parents and individuals regain confidence and handle stress.
She speaks English and provides care remotely using multiple session formats. Clients often come with concerns about parenting, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, or problems with anger and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Lisa listens without judgment and helps people identify strengths they already have. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with attention to what a person needs right now. Her approach draws from client-centered work that places the person's perspective first, and cognitive behavioral strategies that look at thoughts and behaviors.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation and solution-focused techniques to set manageable goals. Treatment plans are practical and adapted to each person's situation. Lisa has worked across settings during her six years in the field, gaining experience with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and substance-related problems.
She aims to help people develop skills for communication, reduce impulsivity, and navigate life changes with clearer choices. For people balancing work, parenting, and other responsibilities, Lisa offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and international clients are not accepted.

Approaches and online options for practical support
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely and helps people name their priorities and strengths. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to sort through feelings and decide next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. It teaches skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, brings in tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance when stress or anger feels overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lisa will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant to what a person needs in the moment.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send messages between sessions or choose a format that fits a busy schedule. These options make it easier to balance parenting, work, and therapy without long commutes.
