Lisa Lopez, LCSW

Lisa Lopez is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Arizona who brings four years of licensed practice together with a decade of experience in the field of social work. She focuses on trauma and addiction, with particular expertise in childhood trauma, and also supports people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with motivation and confidence.

Her approach is strengths-based and client-centered, grounded in the belief that each person is the expert on their own life. Lisa helps clients identify and build on existing strengths while offering guidance to navigate painful memories, addictive behaviors, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties such as attachment, abandonment, and communication problems. She also works with issues related to life transitions, midlife concerns, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

Seeking change takes courage, and Lisa aims to empower clients through a supportive therapeutic partnership. Her practice integrates practical strategies and compassionate feedback to help people move toward greater resilience, clearer purpose, and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Lopez draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and take meaningful actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT can be useful for people struggling with anxiety, depression, or patterns of avoidance.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT tends to help with issues such as panic, mood disorders, and stress management.

Lisa values a client-centered stance that prioritizes the individual's perspective and goals. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - she will work with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to choose how they meet. These options make it easier to schedule consistent care around work, family, or mobility needs and help therapists and clients maintain momentum between sessions.
