Lisa Levin, LCSW

Lisa Levin is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping people facing trauma, addiction, anxiety, and depression. She focuses on reducing suffering and helping people build more manageable, meaningful lives. Lisa practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions and tailors care to each person. Lisa draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses acceptance and commitment approaches to clarify values and build actions that fit a chosen life.

Lisa brings a long clinical background to complex problems like trauma and addiction. She encourages clients to describe how events have affected their thinking and daily life, then works with them to develop clearer coping strategies. Treatment may address emotional regulation, relationship patterns, self-esteem, and consequences of chronic stress.

Her work includes attention to difficult social experiences such as discrimination and microaggressions and how these stressors affect mood and behavior. She supports people from diverse backgrounds, including people of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals, in reclaiming control over their lives and responses to unfair treatment.

Sessions are offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Lisa helps people get started by matching goals to a practical plan and scheduling sessions that fit their routines.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Options

Lisa draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change thought and behavior patterns that keep problems in place. CBT often includes active skill work such as tracking thoughts, testing beliefs, and practicing new responses to anxiety or cravings.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult feelings remain. ACT focuses on making space for emotions while committing to actions that build a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans can combine elements from different approaches and are adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or during a short break, live chat works well for focused check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reminders and brief processing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep regular contact with a licensed professional.
