Lisa Caroselli, LCSW

Lisa Caroselli is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Jersey with 18 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Lisa also supports people facing LGBT concerns and family conflict, and she approaches each person with sensitivity and respect.

Lisa uses a practical, person-centered style. She brings attention to the mind-body connection and may introduce somatic awareness during sessions. She also incorporates elements of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing when appropriate and agreed upon together.

Her work often centers on everyday struggles like feeling isolated, coping with shame or guilt, and navigating caregiving stress. Sessions aim to help people notice unhelpful patterns, learn calming strategies, and build small, doable changes into daily life.

Lisa takes time to tailor the conversation and plan to each person’s needs. She listens first, then partners with clients to set clear, manageable goals. Many people find this step-by-step way helpful when recovering from loss or working through traumatic memories.

If you are a caregiver needing support, Lisa includes caregiver issues among her focus areas and can help you explore manageable self-care, boundaries, and relief from overwhelm.

Approaches that guide online work

Lisa often emphasizes the mind-body connection, helping people notice how physical sensations relate to thoughts and emotions. This can include simple grounding and body-awareness techniques that reduce immediate stress and help with anxiety or overwhelm.

She also uses elements of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing as part of trauma-focused work when it seems appropriate. Those elements are used to help people process upsetting memories and lower the intensity of traumatic reactions over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients and therapist decide what fits best as sessions progress.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people join from a quieter place that helps them focus, or choose sessions that do not require video for days when that works better.
