Lisa Kuzman, LISW

Lisa Kuzman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of professional experience. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Lisa focuses on helping people move through big life changes, grief, career shifts, and stress so they can feel more grounded and purposeful.

She uses a trauma-informed stance and adapts conversation and plans to meet each person's needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical steps, whether someone is managing anxiety, tackling ADHD challenges, or coping with compassion fatigue. Lisa also supports people facing illness, caregiver strain, and concerns about aging.

Her work often blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and somatic tools. That combination helps people connect what they feel in their body with what they think and do. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are used to set achievable next steps and build momentum toward change.

Lisa frames the process as collaborative. She helps people identify priorities, notice patterns that get in the way, and try small experiments that can make daily life easier. Over time the focus may shift from coping to long-term direction and purpose.

Many clients come seeking help after loss, a major life transition, or when career stress feels overwhelming. Lisa aims to create clear, manageable plans so progress is visible and steady. If someone is ready to explore change, she supports them through each step.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person as they are, and it helps people feel heard while they name goals and next steps. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breath practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress, grief, and anxiety. Motivational interviewing focuses on uncovering personal reasons for change and building confidence to try new behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean starting with gentle listening, adding mindfulness or somatic practices, and then using solution-focused steps to create momentum.

Confirm the current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is limited, and allow clients to use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth connections when needed. Many people find it convenient to schedule therapy around work or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
