About Lisa
Lisa Kuzman is a licensed independent social worker (LISW) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on work and wellbeing alongside everyday challenges like stress and anxiety. Her approach centers on the person in front of her, with practical help for career setbacks and life changes.
She listens first and tailors conversations to each person. Lisa uses client-centered and trauma-aware ways of working so people feel respected and heard. That means sessions focus on what matters to the client and move at a pace that fits their needs.
Mindfulness and somatic methods are part of her toolbox when people need help with body-based stress or grounding. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques help people clarify goals and take small, doable steps toward them. This mix is intended to be useful for coping with grief, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career concerns.
Lisa also supports concerns about self-esteem, LGBT issues, and life purpose. She works with people facing caregiver stress, illness, end-of-life decisions, and other complex life adjustments. Her style is respectful, sensitive, and compassionate while keeping conversations straightforward and practical.
People who want to start usually pick a time and complete a short questionnaire to match with her. Sessions use a cancellable subscription model. Lisa practices in Iowa and speaks English.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person needs. Online work that follows this approach usually centers on open conversation, clarifying goals, and adjusting the pace to suit the client. Mindfulness Therapy uses attention to breathing, body sensations, and present-moment awareness to reduce stress and improve focus; online sessions can guide short practices and teach ways to notice and shift reactions. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build confidence for next steps; it often involves focused questions and collaborative planning.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to identify which methods match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative planning helps decide whether more mindfulness, somatic work, or solution-focused steps are most useful at a given time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. Some approaches translate well to talk-based sessions, while others adapt to short guided practices or body-awareness exercises that fit into a busy schedule. Ask about format options when you schedule to find what works best for your routine.
