Dr. Lisa Zaslove is a California psychologist who brings decades of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and eating concerns while supporting those coping with depression, grief, and life changes. She also addresses self esteem and relationship difficulties in straightforward, practical ways.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what feels hard. Sessions aim to help clients name their feelings, understand patterns, and try new ways of responding. She emphasizes small, doable steps that can fit into daily life.
With 35 years as a practicing psychologist in California, she has worked across many settings and with many concerns. That background informs a flexible approach that adjusts to each person’s needs. She focuses on practical strategies rather than jargon, and on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People often come for help with trauma, parenting stress, anger, or burnout from compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and social anxiety and phobia. Additional areas include communication problems, guilt and shame, and finding clearer life purpose.
Her style is collaborative and direct. She helps people set concrete goals and track changes over time. To begin, readers can use the site’s continue button on this profile to complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Practical approaches for online work and everyday life
Many of the techniques Dr. Zaslove uses are evidence-based and focused on skills people can practice between sessions. One common approach emphasizes learning specific coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, scheduling, and small exposure tasks to reduce avoidance and build confidence. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful patterns in relationships and behavior, then testing new ways of communicating and responding to improve self esteem and connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest techniques to try. Choices are revisited regularly so the plan fits what is actually helping the client make changes.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins on hectic days. It can also let people choose quieter times or sessions that keep phone or video use minimal when that works better for them. Licensed professionals, including psychologists, can adapt evidence-based techniques to work well in remote sessions while focusing on practical outcomes.
