About Lisa

Dr. Lisa Zaslove uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide people through stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and parenting concerns. She is a California licensed psychologist - CA Psychologist 13358 - with 35 years of professional experience.

Her tone in sessions is direct, calm, and focused on practical steps. She creates space for honest talk without blame and helps clients find clearer ways forward. Her work often addresses mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms.

Background and approach

She also helps people manage trauma and abuse, anger, and compassion fatigue. Eating concerns, ADHD, and social anxiety are additional areas she supports. These topics are discussed in straightforward language and with attention to real-life routines.

Dr. Zaslove pays special attention to communication problems, forgiveness, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also helps with isolation, finding life purpose, and improving relationships.

Sessions center on identifying patterns and trying small, concrete changes. When parenting or family strain is part of the problem, she focuses on reducing conflict and improving daily interactions. She encourages practical tools that fit each family’s schedule and values.

The goal is clearer communication and more manageable days. Sessions use a direct, collaborative style. Clients can expect step-by-step suggestions, skills to practice between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress.

The approach is adaptable to many life changes and stressors.

Practical approaches for online family and parenting concerns

Dr. Zaslove uses evidence-based techniques that focus on real-world change. One approach emphasizes behavioral strategies - noticing patterns, trying small changes, and building practical routines that reduce stress and improve mood. This method helps with anxiety, depression, and daily parenting challenges.

Another approach centers on skills for managing relationships and communication. It teaches clear, direct ways to express needs, set limits, and repair conflicts. These skills can be useful for relationship strains and family tensions.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. She works with clients to identify goals and preferences, then tailors techniques to fit each situation. The therapist and client decide together which tools to try and when to adjust them.

Online therapy brings flexible options to that collaborative work. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions fit busy schedules, and live chat or text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and written reminders of strategies. These formats make it easier to use new skills in everyday life and to keep regular contact when schedules are tight.
