About Lisa
Lisa McCann is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Hampshire. She holds a Vermont LICSW and a New Hampshire LCSW and brings six years of clinical experience to sessions. Lisa focuses on practical ways to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and looks for strengths to build on.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at clear skills and small steps that fit into busy days. Lisa draws on Client-Centered methods to listen deeply and tailor the work to each person. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to unpack unhelpful patterns and DBT-informed skills for emotion regulation and impulsivity.
Solution-Focused ideas help keep sessions goal-oriented and efficient. Many people come for help with parenting stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, or trauma recovery. Lisa also supports those coping with addiction, isolation, attachment and adoption-related concerns, and financial or caregiver stress.
She pays attention to how these problems affect daily routines and functioning. Work with Lisa usually centers on concrete tools - thought tracking, behavior plans, communication practice, and emotion regulation exercises. She helps make a practical plan, then revisits it to see what’s working and what needs adjusting.
The aim is to make small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and adapting care to each person's needs, helping people feel heard and involved in setting goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical exercises to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can be useful for anger, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That plan can shift over time as progress is tracked and priorities change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows face-to-face interaction for teaching skills and doing role-plays. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports quick check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing support between longer sessions, offering flexibility for different routines and schedules.
