About Lisa
Lisa Rosario is a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 25 years of experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and family-of-origin issues. She also helps people managing ADHD symptoms, eating and body-image struggles, and career or life changes.
Rosario grew up in New York as a first-generation Puerto Rican Latinx and brings that bicultural perspective to her work. She earned a bachelor’s degree from Antioch University and a graduate degree from New York University. For several years she has taught as an adjunct professor at Hunter College Silberman School of Social Work and is beginning doctoral study.
In early sessions she asks straightforward questions about what led someone to seek help and about recent symptoms or pressures. She also asks about family background, relationships, strengths, and goals. Together with each person she outlines practical next steps and a treatment plan that addresses the concerns they name as most urgent.
Her clinical work draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). These methods are used to build coping skills, improve communication, and work through patterns carried from childhood into adult life.
People who come to Rosario typically want clear, practical sessions that address daily functioning and relationship patterns. She explains methods and next steps early on so people know what to expect from the first few meetings.
How Lisa Uses ACT, CBT and Client-Centered Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking actions that match what matters to the person. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and patterns that come from family expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person’s own goals, allowing sessions to be guided by what matters most in relationships and daily life.Finding the best approach is part of the early work. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and will adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer. That means clients and the therapist choose strategies together rather than following a preset script.
