Lisa Zamber, LCSW - Therapist in New York

About Lisa

Lisa Zamber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience. She helps people in New York who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and other difficult emotions. Lisa speaks English and offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

She keeps sessions practical and straightforward. Lisa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to notice and change unhelpful thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take small steps toward them.

Background and approach

Mindfulness and skills training are used when someone needs concrete ways to manage strong feelings. In session, Lisa focuses on what feels most urgent to the person in front of her. She works on communication problems, boundaries, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Her approach also addresses issues such as grief, addictions, body image, and trauma-related symptoms through steady, structured work. People who come for parenting or family-related concerns can expect clear, supportive guidance and practical strategies. Lisa pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they appear and helps people build safer ways of relating.

Her style blends listening with direct skill teaching. New clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. From there they schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability and the subscription plan.

Approach and online care for everyday struggles

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, which can help with impulsivity and self-harm concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress is made or new challenges arise, and decisions are made together.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain steady contact between appointments when skills practice or check-ins are helpful. Many people find this variety useful for balancing work, family, and self-care while still receiving regular therapeutic support.

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.
