Lisa Cacciatori
It can be difficult to trust someone with your personal challenges and feelings. As a compassionate clinical social worker, I provide a safe and supportive environment to help you balance your life and empower yourself. Clients appreciate my laid-back yet professional therapeutic style.
I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership, where I learn as much from them as they learn from me.
My goal is to offer you a voice, collaborate with you on your goals, respect your cultural beliefs and opinions, focus on your strengths, and provide the tools needed to move forward.
First session
In our first session, I will listen to you share your thoughts and feelings comfortably. I may ask questions to help me understand how to best form a helpful partnership. You are also welcome to ask me any questions you have. I strive to make the counseling process easy and comfortable.
Strengths
I genuinely love what I do and very much enjoy working with my clients. I view our therapeutic relationship as a partnership, where I learn as much from them as they learn from me. There is no room for judgment in our partnership. I am here to support you, not to define who you should be.
Ideal clients
I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and women. As a school social worker, I have extensive experience supporting students facing challenges in the school environment. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and have over 15 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I offer flexible scheduling, including evenings and weekends.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this approach in order to empower my clients by teaching them to use their own thoughts and behavior in order to heal themselves.
Compassion-Focused
I use this approach with my clients when I need to help my clients have compassion with themselves and others, all while being non judgemental.
Positive Psychology
I use this approach with my clients because I love that it uses the positives and strengths in our lives to make productive and lasting changes.
Psychoeducation
I use this approach in order to educate, empower, and support my clients.
