About Lisa
Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker in Kansas (LSCSW). She has 19 years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She works with adults who are dealing with grief, depression, addictions, trauma-related issues, parenting strains, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem.
Lisa uses a client-centered stance that starts with listening. She treats the person, not just the problem, and offers options rather than one fixed plan. If a need arises that she cannot meet, she will suggest a referral to someone with the specific expertise required.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses emotionally-focused methods to address patterns in relationships and attachment. Solution-focused techniques are used to set clear, short-term goals and measure progress.
Many people come to her when family patterns from childhood still shape adult behavior. She helps people talk through family of origin issues, communication problems, role expectations, and control or codependency concerns. Sessions may also address mood swings, obsessive thoughts, and the stress of caregiving or aging relatives.
Lisa favors practical, short-term work aimed at reachable goals. She encourages open feedback about how therapy is going so adjustments can be made. The emphasis is on improving communication, raising self-esteem, and developing tools to manage life changes and emotional pain.
How Lisa integrates therapy approaches online
Lisa commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens closely and follows the client's priorities, offering choices rather than prescriptive directions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and obsessive patterns. EFT looks at emotions and interaction patterns in relationships to help people understand and shift how they relate to others.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and review progress so adjustments can be made if needed.
