About Lisa
Lisa Pintel is a New York licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 30 years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, and coping with major life changes, and lists life purpose among her focuses.
Clients can expect clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. She helps people learn coping strategies for panic attacks and social anxiety. She also supports work on forgiveness and building self-love in everyday life.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions focus on identifying patterns, testing small changes, and practicing skills between meetings. Lisa emphasizes strategies that can be used outside the therapy hour to reduce anxiety and manage stressful situations.
Over three decades she has worked with many people who want a new sense of direction after changes in work, relationships, or health. She talks through relationship dynamics and parenting pressures in a way that connects to daily routines and responsibilities.
People who are unsure about next steps often start by naming what feels most urgent. From there she helps set short-term goals and practical steps toward clearer priorities. Her background as an LCSW informs a clinical perspective grounded in real-world problem solving.
How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Lisa integrates evidence-based therapeutic techniques into practical work. One common approach she uses focuses on anxiety management through skills training. That involves learning breathing and grounding methods, recognizing triggers, and practicing brief exposures to reduce panic and social avoidance. Another approach centers on behavioral strategies for stress and life changes, such as breaking problems into smaller steps, testing changes in daily routines, and building habits that support clearer priorities.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. This means reviewing what has helped before, trying an approach for a few sessions, and adjusting based on what actually works for the person.
Confirm the current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows consistent meetings during periods of transition, so people can practice strategies in real time and bring back examples to discuss.
