About Lisa
Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting concerns. Lisa also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, issues around intimacy, and challenges connected to LGBT identity.
Her background includes work in nonprofit settings, private practice, and community programs. Lisa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Sessions focus on clarifying feelings, identifying patterns in relationships, and trying different ways of responding to old problems.
In a typical session she listens closely, asks questions to help people notice what matters most, and suggests practical steps to try between meetings. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to help with coping strategies and short-term goals. Lisa includes discussion of career stress, parenting dilemmas, and compassion fatigue when clients bring those issues forward.
People who come for work on attachment, communication, or commitment worries will find attention to emotional experience and interaction patterns. She is used to helping clients name hard feelings such as shame, abandonment, or emptiness so those feelings are easier to work with. Treatment plans aim for clear, achievable changes rather than vague promises.
Sessions are conducted in English from a New York practice. The subscription-based session model is noted as varying with location and can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people and couples identify and name core emotions and the patterns those emotions create in relationships. It focuses on shifting interactional cycles so people can respond differently to each other and to their own feelings, which can help with intimacy and attachment concerns.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the client's perspective. It creates space for people to speak about struggles and to decide what matters most for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try first. Adjustments are made together as progress is reviewed, so clients help shape the plan rather than being given a fixed program.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help clients keep steady progress amid everyday demands.
