Lisa Daly , LCSW, LSCSW

Lisa Daly approaches therapy as a collaborative partnership, honoring the courage it takes to ask for help and the progress that can follow when someone finds the right professional fit. She brings 19 years of clinical experience and practices with a client-centered stance, listening carefully before offering options so that each person can choose what resonates most with their situation.

Licensed as a clinical social worker in Missouri and Kansas with the credentials LCSW and LSCSW, she frames those qualifications as clinical social work licenses that support work with individuals, couples, and families. Her style emphasizes open feedback - if a client is not getting what they need, she encourages honest communication so therapy can be adjusted or a referral made when a different specialty is required.

Lisa often works in short-term formats aimed at achieving clear goals, while also addressing complex issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, marital conflict, midlife concerns, aging and caregiver stress, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and faith-related questions. She applies a nonjudgmental approach that promotes improved communication, strengthened self-esteem, and practical strategies for coping with life changes, trauma, relationship struggles, and addictive behaviors. Her work also includes support for LGBT clients, intimacy-related issues, anger and control concerns, and a range of mood and adjustment difficulties.

Clients can expect options rooted in evidence-informed approaches, respect for their expertise on their own lives, and clear, goal-focused collaboration to help them move toward the life they want and deserve.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Lisa Daly

Lisa Daly integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes active listening and respect for the client as the expert on their own life, helping people clarify goals and make decisions that fit their values. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and is often useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT helps partners and individuals explore emotions and attachment needs to improve connection and resolve relational distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She offers options and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds so clients are part of deciding what feels most helpful.

Online therapy with Lisa includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in these approaches.
