About Lisa

Lisa Post is an Ohio Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 11 years of clinical experience. She works with adults struggling with stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, anger, and depression. Lisa also helps people dealing with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, caregiver stress, and related family of origin issues.

In sessions she focuses on clear conversation and practical steps. Lisa listens to what feels most pressing and helps clients name patterns that repeat from their family of origin. Discussions often cover how household roles, expectations, and past interactions still affect current choices and relationships.

Sessions involve noticing habits, trying small behavior changes, and talking through emotions that feel stuck. Lisa supports managing strong feelings like anger or anxiety with straightforward techniques rather than technical language. Work may include spotting triggers, rehearsing different responses, or setting boundaries with relatives.

She also addresses longer-term concerns such as grief, separation, chronic illness, and parenting-related stress by breaking them into manageable goals. Lisa uses an evidence-based approach and will outline practical tools during the first visits. Progress is reviewed in simple terms so clients can see what is changing.

Her manner is direct and conversational. She encourages people to take the next step by completing the brief intake questionnaire and scheduling an initial session to discuss goals and a plan.

How evidence-based techniques are used online

Lisa commonly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing how people respond to stress and strong emotions. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns from family of origin experiences and practicing new responses to those patterns; this helps with ongoing family conflicts and attachment concerns. Another approach centers on skills for managing anxiety and mood symptoms, such as breathing and grounding exercises, behavioral activation, and short structured exercises to reduce avoidance and lift mood.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will review what matters most to the client and test approaches together, adapting them based on progress and feedback. The client and therapist decide collaboratively which techniques to keep or change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life by removing travel time and allowing sessions around work or caregiving responsibilities. It can also make it simpler to have a brief check-in when needed or to use shorter sessions for focused practice without rearranging a full day.
