Lisa Kuzman

Lisa Kuzman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of practice. She focuses on practical help for people facing grief, stress, anxiety, and major life changes. Her work also includes support for eating and food-related issues alongside concerns like ADHD and self-esteem.

She uses a trauma-aware way of working and adapts conversations to each person. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, whether that's managing grief, addressing burnout, or navigating career shifts. Lisa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction.

Her approach blends client-centered listening with mindfulness and somatic ideas. This means attention to thoughts, emotions, and physical reactions so people can feel more grounded and make changes that fit their lives. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools help set clear, actionable steps when clients want concrete progress.

Lisa has spent nearly two decades helping people cope with caregiving stress, end-of-life concerns, relationship communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She also works with people facing cancer, aging issues, and financial stress that affect mental health. Her background gives her practical experience across many life transitions.

People who come to her should expect a collaborative process. Lisa aims to tailor plans to a person's goals and daily reality. She encourages small, doable changes and checks in on what helps and what doesn’t as therapy progresses.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and everyday life

Lisa draws on client-centered therapy to make sessions about each person’s goals and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely, follows what the client brings, and helps shape plans that feel relevant and doable. It is useful for people coping with grief, life transitions, and issues around eating and body image.

She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting swept up by them. Mindfulness can reduce reactivity to stress and support clearer choices. Somatic therapy is part of her work too, which pays attention to how stress shows up in the body and offers simple practices to reduce tension and increase present-moment awareness.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to try methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative exploration helps identify what actually helps rather than applying one fixed method.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. In general, remote sessions can make attending therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time so therapy can be worked into a lunch break or between appointments.
