Lisa Seidel, LCSW-R

Lisa Seidel is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and relationship strain. She works with individuals who are dealing with compassion fatigue, addictions, LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, and family conflict. Lisa also focuses on aging and geriatric issues, first responder challenges, hospice and end-of-life counseling, intellectual disability, and young adult issues. She provides straightforward, respectful support and meets people where they are in life.

Lisa uses a collaborative approach. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's needs. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical coping strategies, and steady emotional support. She encourages small, achievable steps that build toward lasting change.

With about 20 years of experience, Lisa draws on a wide range of clinical situations. That background helps when a problem feels layered or long-standing. Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming to reduce overwhelm and increase day-to-day functioning.

People often come for help after a loss, during a caregiving season, or when stress is wearing them down. Lisa offers guided conversations about grieving, role changes, and transitions. She also helps those coping with trauma, relationship shifts, or struggles tied to identity.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional processing. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks larger issues into manageable steps, useful for stress, anxiety, and caregiving burnout. Another approach emphasizes grief-focused support, helping people name losses, track their reactions, and develop ways to cope with daily life after a bereavement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Decisions are collaborative and may change as needs evolve.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time, and check in from a quieter moment. It can also allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to involve practical planning around caregiving, aging concerns, or hospice coordination.
