About Lisa

Lisa Calloway is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Lisa also lists life purpose and midlife issues among her practice areas. She works with adults wondering what comes next after a change in work, relationships, or health.

Her approach centers on listening first and helping people name what matters to them now. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow a person’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns that keep problems going.

In sessions she helps people talk through relationship struggles, communication problems, caregiver stress, and workplace strain. Lisa also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the aftereffects of trauma. She offers help with divorce and separation concerns and the loneliness that can follow major life change.

Lisa draws on long experience to keep work grounded and straightforward. She asks clear questions and helps create small, manageable steps between sessions. The focus is often on what can be tried next rather than on abstract theory.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s priorities. In practice this means sessions begin with the client’s immediate concerns and the therapist reflects back what she hears to help clarify goals. This approach supports conversations about life purpose, grief, and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions may include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small practical experiments between meetings to test new ways of thinking or behaving. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and workplace stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will help figure out which methods fit best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to keep momentum between sessions through focused exercises that can be used in everyday life.
