Lisa Leibowitz

Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Connecticut, where she lives with her family. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Emory University and a Master of Social Work from Bryn Mawr School of Social Work. Over the course of her 10 years in practice, she has worked in individual counseling with adults and adolescents and has provided parent guidance, family therapy, and group work.

In recent years, many people have faced increased stress and worry related to the pandemic - including job and financial pressures, health concerns, limits on activities and social contact, and more time spent at home. Lisa recognizes how these factors can contribute to a sense of burn-out for adults, and she is mindful of the ways children and teens were affected by disruptions to school and social life. She also sees the continuing worries some feel about aging relatives and the isolation experienced by older adults.

Lisa offers empathetic, non-judgmental listening and coaching, and she uses evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy along with mindfulness practices. Her work focuses on helping people manage stress and difficult emotions, create space for self-care and better life balance, improve interpersonal effectiveness and relationship skills, and develop strategies to support their children. She follows a warm, interactive, client-centered approach and lets each person’s priorities guide the work.

Reaching out for support is an important first step, and Lisa looks forward to meeting and getting to know individuals seeking help.
