About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a licensed social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, depression, anxiety, parenting strain, and trauma-related concerns.
She approaches counseling from a client-centered perspective, starting where each person is and following their priorities. Sessions emphasize listening, understanding, and building on the strengths someone already has. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and gentle encouragement toward change.
Her work also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to address thoughts, emotions, and coping skills. These methods are used to help manage anger, impulsivity, and patterns that keep problems going.
She pays attention to family-related pressures, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and the stress that caregivers often face. Practical topics such as money worries, life purpose, and communication problems are included in her care.
People who come for help with relationship strain, isolation, or the aftermath of domestic violence and substance problems will find a therapist who focuses on safety, pacing, and clear goals. The work is collaborative and paced to match each person's needs.
Finding help starts with a simple matching step and scheduling. Lisa aims to support people as they build skills, increase confidence, and make tangible changes in daily life.
How these approaches translate to online work
Lisa often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means listening closely and following the client's lead to set goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through parenting stress, past abuse, or major life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, and difficulties with motivation.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose what feels most useful based on needs, goals, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
