Lisa Kuzman, LISW

Lisa Kuzman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate grief, trauma, career challenges, and major life transitions. Her approach aims to meet each person where they are and build a path forward that fits their life.

She works in a way that centers the individual. Lisa uses client-centered methods and mindfulness to help people notice what matters most. She also draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set practical goals and track small changes.

Lisa pays attention to how the body holds stress and uses somatic awareness when helpful. That means she may guide people to notice physical sensations alongside thoughts and feelings to reduce overwhelm and increase options for coping.

Her practice includes support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. She also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, cancer and hospice issues, caregiver stress, loneliness, and financial or career pressures.

Lisa describes her work as respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. The goal is practical change and more manageable days rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that guide online work and progress

Lisa commonly uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on each person's needs and priorities. This approach means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build solutions that feel realistic and personally relevant.

She also brings mindfulness techniques into sessions to help people notice thoughts, emotions, and bodily signals without judgement. Mindfulness can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and grief by creating small moments of calm and clearer decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with clients to choose methods that match goals, preferences, and life demands. She adjusts pacing and tools over time so the plan stays practical and relevant.

The profile does not state specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a person's day. Licensed professionals can use these methods to help people make steady progress while keeping sessions manageable.
