About Lisa
Lisa Pintel is a licensed clinical social worker with 30 years of practice in New York. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and questions about parenting and self-esteem. Lisa uses clear, approachable language and focuses on immediate tools that can be used between sessions.
She helps clients tackle panic attacks, social anxiety, and the everyday strain of life changes. Sessions emphasize building coping skills and stronger routines that reduce overwhelm.
Background and approach
Lisa also guides people who want to clarify life purpose or work on forgiveness and self-love. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Clients are invited to set goals and try small, concrete steps to reach them.
Conversations move between present concerns and patterns from the past when that helps people feel more steady in daily life. Over three decades she has kept a practical focus: simple techniques, real-world coaching, and emotional support. That combination aims to make progress feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Lisa adapts her approach to each person’s needs and pace. Therapy with her often includes short-term strategies for managing symptoms and longer work on values, relationships, and parenting questions. People leave sessions with homework they can actually use and with clearer steps for the week ahead.

Evidence-based approaches and how they work online
Lisa often uses well-established, evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes learning specific skills to manage anxiety and panic attacks, teaching breathing and behavioral steps to reduce symptom spikes and regain calm. Another approach centers on building self-esteem and self-love through exercises that shift negative self-talk and reinforce healthier daily habits.Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about current struggles, goals, and preferences and then recommend methods to try. That collaborative process means plans can be adjusted as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video sessions allow face-to-face work when visual cues matter. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coping reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to increase flexibility so people can attend sessions around work, parenting, and other daily demands.
