About Lisa

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker who uses a client-centered approach to guide parents and families through difficult times. She listens first and asks questions to understand the real, everyday problems that bring people to therapy. Lisa emphasizes short-term work aimed at practical changes and clearer communication that parents can use right away.

She holds LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Missouri and LSCSW (Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker) in Kansas.

Background and approach

With 19 years of experience, Lisa draws on methods from cognitive behavioral therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, and solution-focused work to meet each family's needs. She offers options and encourages feedback so sessions stay useful and relevant. In sessions Lisa helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, and parenting concerns.

She also addresses ADHD, bipolar mood issues, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and problems tied to aging or caregiving. Communication problems, family of origin issues, and codependency are also part of her practice. Her style is straightforward and non-judgmental.

She helps people identify small, doable steps that improve daily life and family interactions. When a different skill or specialty is needed, she will suggest referrals to other professionals who can help. Lisa provides therapy in English and practices from Missouri.

She uses a collaborative process to find the best path forward for each family or couple. Her goal is to help clients feel more capable, connected, and in control of the next chapter.

Therapeutic approaches and online options for families

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, offers choices, and shapes work around what matters most to the family. This approach helps parents feel heard and be part of planning change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought patterns that influence feelings and behaviors. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful habits. This is useful for parents managing stress, mood disorders, or obsessive patterns.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on improving connection and communication in relationships. It helps couples and partners identify emotions and respond in ways that build safety and trust, which can ease conflict and intimacy struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will help clients decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. She collaborates on a plan that can include one or more approaches and adjusts that plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet during busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide a simpler option. Live chat and text-based messaging give brief check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and fit it into everyday life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
