About Lisa Levin
Early in her career Lisa Levin set a clear goal: to help people reduce pain and move beyond patterns of suffering. Lisa Levin, LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of clinical experience, and she brings that commitment to clients across a range of challenges. Based in Indiana and experienced both domestically and overseas, she focuses on trauma and addiction treatment while also addressing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relationship concerns.
Lisa understands that trauma does not always look the same from one person to the next. For some people a single event causes lasting distress, while for others years of neglect, microaggressions, or emotional mistreatment have produced deep wounds. She validates each person’s experience and centers how the heart and mind have responded rather than relying on outside definitions of what counts as traumatic. Her work also treats addictions beyond substances - including love, sex, pornography, gambling, shopping, eating, and gaming - with the goal of helping clients live freer, more satisfying lives.
Known for a pragmatic, client-focused approach, Lisa uses evidence-informed methods and adapts interventions to meet each person’s needs within ethical boundaries. She is also committed to social justice and supports people of color and LGBTQIA+ clients in addressing the impacts of discrimination, racism, and marginalization while reclaiming agency over their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa Levin
Lisa often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and build workable strategies for living with difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT supports people working with anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with meaningful life changes by teaching acceptance and committed action toward chosen goals.Attachment-Based Therapy guides work around relationship patterns and early bonds, helping clients understand how past connections influence current interactions and emotional responses. This approach is useful for attachment issues, relationship conflicts, blended family concerns, and healing from early neglect or abandonment.
