About Lisa

Lisa Hulsizer is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida who uses practical, evidence-based tools to support parents and young people. She focuses on clear, useful strategies that families can try between sessions. Lisa aims to create a calm, straightforward space where concerns are named and workable steps are planned.

She has 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, teens, and adults. That background gives her familiarity with school problems, mood struggles, and changes that come with growing up.

Background and approach

Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, ADHD, grief, addictions, and trauma-related concerns. Lisa blends several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice their values and take meaningful action. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy may appear when clients want short-term, goal-directed work. In sessions she keeps language plain and practical.

Parents and young people can expect concrete tools, clear explanations, and collaborative planning. Lisa encourages small steps that add up over time and checks in on what works. Outside of work she lives in central Florida with family and pets.

She enjoys video games, movies, and local theme parks. That down-to-earth side helps her relate to teens and parents looking for real-world solutions.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online care

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make life harder. CBT can be useful for anxiety, mood problems, and coping with school or work stress.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a method that helps clients clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. ACT can be helpful for parents and teens facing life changes and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is something she does together with each client. During early sessions she learns about your goals, then suggests a mix of techniques. The plan is adjusted over time based on what feels helpful and what produces real change.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit sessions around school, work, and family routines. For many families this means more consistent follow-through and the ability to use strategies in real life between meetings.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
