Lisa Leong, LCSW, LICSW - Therapist in Texas

About Lisa

Lisa Leong is a licensed clinical social worker who aims to help adults facing stress and life transitions find steadier footing. She brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on concrete steps that fit each person’s daily life. Conversations are collaborative and focused on what the client needs right now.

She uses straightforward tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood shifts, and handle workplace or relationship stress. Lisa pays attention to patterns like people pleasing, perfectionism, and conflict avoidance, and helps clients build skills to respond differently.

Background and approach

Sessions often include simple strategies to increase clarity and confidence between meetings. With eight years of experience, Lisa blends several evidence-based methods into a flexible plan. She adapts techniques to match what feels useful for the client rather than following a rigid protocol.

That means practical exercises some weeks and reflective discussion in others. Lisa holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential in Texas and Washington - LCSW and LICSW - and works with adults in English. She addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, and caregiver stress.

Her sessions use video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can pick what fits their schedule. Getting started involves a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for both client and therapist.

Online approaches and how they help

This therapist commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional and behavioral patterns. ACT focuses on identifying values and accepting difficult thoughts so clients can act in ways that matter to them; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions. CBT targets unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve coping skills.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the session on the person’s experience and uses empathetic listening to help clients feel heard and understood. Together the therapist and client decide which methods feel most useful, and they adjust the approach as goals and needs change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. These options allow scheduling flexibility and let clients choose how they want to communicate on different days. The therapist works with clients to find a rhythm and format that supports steady progress and practical skill building.

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.
