About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings six years of experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She also supports those navigating parenting challenges and trauma-related concerns.
Her background includes work with a wide range of life problems, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, and blended family dynamics. She pays attention to how day-to-day pressures affect mood, behavior, and relationships. Sessions are conversational and practical, with an emphasis on building on existing strengths.
Lisa uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s lead and create a steady, nonjudgmental space for talking things through. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that increase distress and to try simple experiments that change behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation and coping tools are needed to manage intense feelings.
Her style is direct but warm. She helps people set realistic goals and break them into small steps. She encourages practical skills you can use between sessions and checks in on progress. The approach aims to make everyday life easier to handle.
People who reach out can expect a respectful, collaborative relationship. Lisa emphasizes listening first, then planning next steps together. She asks questions, suggests doable strategies, and adapts the plan based on what is helping.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person's concerns and priorities. In practice that means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can help people who need a steady, supportive space to talk through adoption and foster care related worries and other life stresses.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to shift behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that respond to clear, stepwise strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to use based on needs, goals, and what feels most comfortable. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
