About Lisa Raley

Lisa Raley is a licensed clinical social worker with 16 years of therapy experience. As a LICSW - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, she uses a holistic, strength-based approach that recognizes people as composed of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and social strengths. When one or more of these areas weaken because of internal or external pressures, symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and other stress-related concerns can emerge.

Her practice centers on helping individuals identify existing resources and cultivate new capacities to restore balance and resilience. By guiding clients to recognize their inner strengths and build practical skills, she supports a process of re-balancing that helps people feel more whole and better equipped to manage life’s challenges.

Drawing on long-term clinical experience, she tailors her work to each person’s circumstances and priorities, emphasizing growth, restored equilibrium, and sustained well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values-driven action and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. It helps people reduce the impact of worry and avoidance by clarifying what matters most and taking steps aligned with those values, often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, CBT can help with depression, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and many stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills often benefit people managing intense emotions, relationship difficulties, or persistent stress responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and daily routines while maintaining continuity of support from a clinician familiar with the chosen therapeutic approaches.
