Lisa McCann, LICSW, LCSW - Therapist in New Hampshire

About Lisa

Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. Lisa focuses on family and parenting concerns along with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, and related issues.

She approaches each person with respect and clear, practical support. Lisa believes people understand their own lives best and builds on those strengths. In sessions she listens closely, asks direct questions, and helps clients set realistic steps they can try between meetings.

Background and approach

The tone tends to be straightforward and encouraging rather than heavy or judgmental. Her work addresses both specific problems and day-to-day coping. That includes parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, and the impacts of trauma or abuse.

She also helps with life transitions, relationship struggles, and managing ADHD-related difficulties. Lisa uses evidence-based tools to teach skills like emotion regulation, problem solving, and behavior changes. She tailors those tools to each person’s goals and pace instead of pushing one fixed method.

Progress is measured in concrete steps clients can notice in daily life. Clients can expect a collaborative, goal-focused approach. Lisa supports people through practical planning, skill-building, and thoughtful conversation.

The emphasis is on making manageable changes that fit real family life.

Approaches that fit family life and online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following each person’s priorities. The therapist offers steady support, reflects what she hears, and helps clients clarify their own goals, which works well for parenting and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes. It is practical for anxiety, depression, and problems that benefit from step-by-step strategies to change patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa uses conversations in early sessions to learn what matters most and then recommends methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. Decisions about which tools to try are made collaboratively and adjusted over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Video calls let therapists and clients see each other, while phone, live chat, or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or homework support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when life gets complicated and help people practice new skills in real time.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
