About Lisa

Lisa Parise offers a warm, steady presence for people navigating difficult life moments and recognizes the courage involved in seeking support. She aims to create an accepting, strengths-based environment where individuals can begin to explore change and healing.

She is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in Massachusetts and Virginia and holds LICSW and LCSW credentials, which indicate advanced clinical training as a social worker. She earned a Master of Social Work from Fordham University in 2006.

Her clinical training includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She is also trained in Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), an evidence-based approach for trauma, and is credentialed as a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist and a Registered Yoga Teacher. These somatic and mindfulness-informed methods support her focus on listening to the body's wisdom as part of recovery.

She has supported people experiencing trauma-related symptoms, depression, anxiety, and stress. Grounded in compassion, she believes in each person's inner strength and insight to move toward healing and looks forward to working with individuals seeking support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current connections - it helps people understand patterns of trust, closeness, and separation and is often helpful for those working through abandonment and attachment concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a skills-focused approach that identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Mindfulness Therapy cultivates present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience - this approach supports emotion regulation, stress reduction, and greater attunement to bodily signals.

Licensed professionals often blend these methods to match individual needs. Lisa Parise approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to assess goals, preferences, and life context so the chosen methods fit and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family responsibilities and to maintain consistent care when in-person visits are not practical. These options allow therapists and clients to try different ways of communicating and to access support from familiar surroundings.
