About Lisa
Lisa Mulholland is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 13 years of practice in New Mexico. She helps people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and depression. Her work is straightforward and grounded in real-life problems.
She focuses on clear goals and steady support while people make changes. People meet her for practical help rather than long theory talks. She emphasizes open conversation where thoughts and feelings are welcomed without judgment.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to identify what matters most and build small steps that fit daily life. She also brings experience from executive and professional coaching to help clients apply skills at work. Her style blends problem-focused tools with attention to life stories.
That means using techniques that challenge unhelpful thinking alongside conversations that help people tell their experience in new ways. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made. Lisa draws on evidence-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas to support change after trauma or during life transitions.
She helps people handle shame, grief, or unresolved family patterns while shaping practical plans for parenting or relationship changes. Sessions are aimed at moving toward clearer thinking and calmer days. She supports people who want to break cycles, find purpose, or manage symptoms that block everyday functioning.
Lisa speaks English and practices in New Mexico as an LCSW.

Therapy approaches that translate online
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with depression, anxiety, and parenting routines. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons for change; that approach supports readiness and commitment when tackling addictions or difficult habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest methods that fit those needs. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new concerns appear, and decisions are made collaboratively.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and are useful for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are good for shorter updates, written reflections, or when a flexible schedule is needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work life.
