Lisa Leibowitz, LCSW

Lisa Leibowitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut who brings a decade of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families. She trained in psychology at Emory University and earned a Master of Social Work from the Bryn Mawr School of Social Work, and she combines that academic background with practical experience in individual counseling, parent guidance, family work, and group facilitation.

Her practice centers on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques with mindfulness practices to give clients concrete tools for regulating emotions, improving communication, and building healthier daily routines. She also uses a client-centered stance - listening carefully and following each person’s priorities so treatment reflects their needs and goals.

Lisa has worked with individuals coping with pandemic-related burnout, caregiving strain, academic and social disruptions for young people, and the ripple effects these experiences can have on families. She aims to help clients identify practical strategies for self-care, enhance interpersonal effectiveness, strengthen parenting skills, and explore sources of satisfaction and connection. Her approach is warm, interactive, and nonjudgmental, and she collaborates with clients to determine focus and pace throughout the therapeutic process.

Although she emphasizes skill-building and adaptable strategies, Lisa also attends to the emotional experience beneath the challenges people bring. By blending evidence-based techniques with empathic support, she helps clients navigate difficult emotions and daily pressures while working toward greater balance and resilience.
