Lisa Moranz , LCSW

Lisa Moranz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 12 years of clinical experience. She supports people navigating stress and anxiety, processing trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, and strengthening self-esteem and internal motivation. Her practice emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story, helping individuals draw on existing strengths to move toward a more fulfilling and confident life.

Moranz works with a broad range of concerns, including depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, intimacy-related challenges, parenting issues, anger, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, and adapting to major life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, codependency, communication breakdowns, dissociation, persistent emptiness, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, and seasonal affective disorder.

In sessions she combines relational sensitivity with evidence-informed techniques to help clients identify practical strategies, process difficult experiences, and build sustainable coping skills. She aims to create a supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, set achievable goals, and make meaningful progress at a pace that fits their needs.

Approaches, Collaboration, and the Benefits of Online Care

Lisa Moranz integrates attachment-based work into her practice to help clients explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can be especially useful for those coping with intimacy issues, attachment wounds, or family conflicts. She also draws on client-centered therapy, emphasizing empathy, validation, and the client’s own goals so that treatment aligns with what matters most to the individual. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop concrete skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa collaborates with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, adapting methods over time so the work remains practical and personally meaningful. This collaborative stance ensures therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or when in-person visits are not possible. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these options to maintain continuity of care, respond to shifting needs, and offer consistent support in ways that suit each client’s life.
