Lisa Leibowitz, LCSW

Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut who brings a decade of clinical experience working with adults, adolescents, families, and groups. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. Her work has included individual counseling, parent guidance, family therapy, and group facilitation, with a focus on practical skills and emotional support.

In recent years she has observed how widespread stressors - including pandemic-related disruption, financial and job pressures, health concerns, and social isolation - have contributed to burnout, anxiety, grief, and frustration for many people and their families. As a parent herself, she understands the ripple effects that challenges for children can have on caregivers, and she attends to both individual and family needs when they arise. She also works with issues related to relationships, intimacy, career concerns, midlife transitions, and workplace difficulties.

Her clinical approach blends client-centered principles with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques, along with mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing when appropriate. She focuses on empathetic, nonjudgmental listening and collaborative coaching to help clients build coping strategies, improve interpersonal effectiveness, support parenting goals, and find greater balance and sources of satisfaction. Lisa adapts the pace and focus of work to each person she meets, aiming to provide practical tools and reflective support tailored to individual goals.
