Lisa Mccarton/Weiss is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Virginia with 20 years of clinical experience. She specializes in psychotherapy and social work with children, adolescents, and families, and she earned her Master of Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2000.
Her post-master’s clinical work began in a residential treatment facility serving emotionally and physically abused children, where she provided therapy and case management for children and their families. Over the years she has offered psychotherapy for a wide range of concerns, including behavioral problems, trauma, family relationship difficulties, mood disorders, school-related issues, and sexual abuse issues.
Lisa Mccarton/Weiss describes her approach as goal-oriented and client-centered, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, and a strength-based perspective. These practical methods focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns in order to improve coping and everyday functioning.
She acknowledges that difficult and painful times are part of the human experience and that seeking help can feel vulnerable. Establishing a trusting, emotionally supportive relationship is central to her work, and she believes that, with collaborative effort, meaningful change is possible.
Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes - online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to in-person sessions for most cases.
One major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the way that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care.
Therapy delivered online uses the same professional skills and therapeutic methods as traditional sessions, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they need a different fit. For many people, remote therapy provides a practical and effective way to address everyday mental health concerns while keeping care accessible.
