Lisa Hulsizer, LCSW

Lisa Hulsizer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices from Florida and brings ten years of experience to therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other practical approaches to help people manage the everyday struggles that get in the way of feeling well. Lisa writes plainly, listens closely, and focuses on workable steps a person can use between sessions.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image struggles, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those dealing with parenting strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered listening, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. This mix lets her tailor sessions to what someone actually needs - whether that is learning new coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, or setting clear short-term goals.

Lisa emphasizes clear, practical work. That might mean practicing a coping skill in session, setting a small goal to try between meetings, or using focused questions to spot patterns in behavior. Her aim is to make therapy feel manageable and useful from the start.

Outside of work she lives in central Florida with family and a lively household. She enjoys video games, movies, and local theme parks, and she brings a down-to-earth style to the therapy room.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, mood issues, and eating concerns because it focuses on practical exercises and skills you can use right away.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients clarify values and accept difficult feelings while taking steps toward a meaningful life. ACT can be helpful for people coping with loss, chronic stress, or persistent worries. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her approach too, which means she prioritizes listening and building a trusting relationship before moving to skills or goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and they adjust as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is low or when being off camera feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, goal tracking, or when a quick touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or family routines while keeping a steady therapeutic plan.
