About Lisa
Lisa OBrien is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than three decades of practice. She offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, or low self-esteem. Her tone is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people take the next step when life feels hard.
She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person in front of her rather than a single rigid method. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing commonly appear in her work, along with solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when appropriate. Sessions focus on clear goals, small changes, and real-world coping skills.
Her background includes long-term work with people who face substance use, trauma and relationship struggles. Lisa adapts her methods to each person’s needs, looking for practical actions that reduce distress and build confidence. She draws on experience with caregiving stress, identity concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions.
Clients can expect conversations that balance listening with active skill-building. She aims to make therapy useful and understandable, with steps people can try between sessions. Over time the work centers on problem-solving, improving communication, and strengthening self-esteem.
