About Lisa

Lisa Hernandez is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a decade of practice to family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, and parenting challenges.

She creates an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit a client's life.

Background and approach

Lisa listens closely and helps people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling better. Her background includes training and experience with approaches that address thinking, coping skills, and trauma. Lisa blends techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy with Client-Centered and Trauma-Focused methods.

That allows her to match strategies to what each person needs in the moment. Most people leave sessions with concrete next steps and tools they can try between meetings. She pays attention to communication and relationships when family or parenting issues are part of the concern.

The work can include building routines, changing unhelpful thoughts, or creating new ways to talk with loved ones. Lisa holds LCSW licensure and practices from Arizona. She offers multiple session formats to fit busy days and varied schedules.

Her approach is collaborative - she helps people set priorities and adjusts as progress unfolds.

Approaches that guide online family and parenting work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers ways to address past harm and reduce its hold on daily life, often through paced, supportive conversations.

She also draws on Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the client’s perspective. That approach centers on listening, empathy, and working from what matters most to the person. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, adjusting as goals and needs evolve in therapy.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can work between meetings for quick check-ins or brief exercises. These options offer flexibility so people can keep progress moving even with unpredictable days.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
