Lisa Meotti, LCSW

Lisa Meotti is a licensed clinical social worker with 17 years of experience helping people through difficult life changes. She practices in Florida and focuses on addiction recovery, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship struggles, and trauma-related issues. Her work centers on practical steps clients can use day to day.

Clients find sessions are direct and compassionate. Lisa listens first, then helps people identify small, achievable goals. She emphasizes clearer communication, stronger self-regard, and manageable coping skills rather than long lists of techniques.

Her background includes long-term practice with people facing grief, anxiety, depression, and substance concerns. Lisa also supports those dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, and the stress that comes with caregiving or blended family situations. She brings steady, supportive guidance through life transitions including midlife changes.

Therapy sessions commonly involve learning ways to respond to tough emotions, practicing new patterns of relating, and setting boundaries that feel doable. She draws on straightforward tools from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness to help reduce distress and reframe unhelpful thoughts.

Many clients appreciate a warm, affirming space that honors identity and experience. Lisa aims to help people rebuild meaning, improve relationships, and move toward the life they want at a pace that fits them.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking steps toward them despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It helps people stuck in avoidance or uncertainty move toward meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns and manage anxiety or depression. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relational patterns shape current relationships and supports building healthier connections and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and is done together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what methods feel most useful. Sessions can be adjusted over time as needs change to find the best fit for each person.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for consistent weekly check-ins. Some formats are more convenient for short progress reviews while others support longer, deeper work; discuss practical scheduling and format choices during the initial matching process to find what works best.
