About Lisa
Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family problems, and other life changes. Lisa also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports people facing parenting challenges and intimacy-related concerns.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help people understand their thoughts and feelings. Sessions typically look at patterns that cause pain and then build simple skills to change them. Lisa draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy while also using mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when useful.
Lisa's background includes work in nonprofit programs, private practice, higher education, and community settings. That mix gives her experience with a range of problems from trauma and grief to career stress and compassion fatigue. She brings practical strategies for managing panic, phobias, seasonal mood shifts, and self-esteem struggles.
In a session she helps people set clear goals and develop small, achievable steps. Conversations tend to focus on communication, coping skills, and clearer boundaries. For those in blended households she can help with loyalty conflicts, adjusting routines, and navigating co-parenting tensions.
People who prefer conversational, goal-oriented work may find this approach useful. Lisa asks about current needs and priorities, then shapes sessions around what a client wants to practice between meetings.
How Lisa’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can name what matters most. It helps with relationship issues, family tensions, and building clearer communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or shift unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions and how they shape interactions, which can be useful for intimacy-related struggles and attachment concerns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with the client about their goals, previous experiences with therapy, and what methods feel most useful. Together they pick practices to try and check what helps over a few sessions, adjusting the plan as needed.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, having a session during a lunch break, choosing a short check-in instead of a long slot, or avoiding travel time. Licensed professionals often use a mix of conversation, guided exercises, and homework that can be practiced between meetings to support steady progress.
