About Lisa
Lisa Gore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who uses practical, evidence-minded methods to help people through relationship and family challenges. She focuses on building confidence, managing stress, and improving motivation. Lisa keeps conversations straightforward and respectful to help parents and caregivers feel heard.
Taking the first step toward change can feel hard, and she offers steady support during that process. She has ten years of professional experience working with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, anger, and trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Lisa also addresses intimacy-related concerns, career questions, and attention-related difficulties like ADHD. She adapts treatment to each person, shaping discussions and plans around what matters most to them. Sessions emphasize clear goals and practical skills.
Lisa helps people identify small, doable steps to reduce stress and improve relationships. She encourages honest conversation about what is working and what needs to change. Her style is warm and straightforward.
She listens carefully and offers guidance without judgment. Parents looking for help with family dynamics will find a calm, organized approach. To begin, she asks about current difficulties and what the person hopes to change.
From there she co-creates a plan that fits daily life and family routines. Progress is tracked by the goals set in early sessions.
Practical approaches for online family and relationship work
Lisa uses evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete skills and clearer communication. One approach emphasizes short-term, goal-focused work that identifies specific problems and builds step-by-step plans to address them; this helps with stress, motivation, and career-related choices. A second approach centers on coping skills for anxiety, grief, and trauma; it teaches breathing, grounding, and structured problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and improve day-to-day functioning.Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what feels most urgent. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions address the family's real needs and preferences in a practical way.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family schedules. These options let parents and caregivers connect from home, change formats when needed, and continue work between appointments. The variety of formats supports flexibility and steady progress while making it easier to fit therapy into a crowded life.
