About Lisa

Lisa Butrymowicz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with 23 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Her approach focuses on identifying strong emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside methods from acceptance and commitment work and cognitive behavioral ideas. Conversations are direct and practical, with attention to feelings, thoughts, and behavior that get in the way of daily life.

Lisa also pays attention to attachment and relational themes that show up across problems. That means noticing how early losses, abandonment, adoption or foster care experiences, and attachment issues affect current relationships and choices. She supports people who are dealing with caregiving stress, blended family tensions, codependency, commitment struggles, and communication breakdowns.

Additional concerns she addresses include ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, aging and geriatric issues, kink and alternative sexual culture matters, control issues, and coping after disasters. Work in sessions blends client-centered listening with goal-focused tools to help people manage symptoms and make clearer decisions.

Her style aims to be straightforward and respectful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and working with strong emotions and the interactional patterns they create. EFT can help when people struggle to name feelings or keep repeating the same relationship or personal patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying values, accepting difficult thoughts or feelings, and choosing committed actions that align with those values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational experiences shape current reactions and expectations, which can clarify why certain triggers or communication patterns keep recurring.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means starting with what matters most to the client and adjusting tools over time rather than insisting on a single method.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example allowing shorter check-ins, scheduling around work breaks, or avoiding travel time. They also let people choose whether to use video or audio based on what feels most manageable for them. Licensed professionals can help identify practical steps to bring therapeutic work into day-to-day routines.
