Lisa Daly

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of practice. She works from a client-centered stance and listens first to understand each person's needs. Her approach treats the person, not just the problem, and she offers options so clients can choose what fits best.

She describes therapy as a partnership and values clear communication about what is or isn’t working. If a client needs services beyond her scope, she will suggest a referral to another professional. She supports short-term work when that aligns with a person's goals and the situation.

Her clinical focus includes trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, relationship and marital conflict, grief and loss, parenting issues, midlife transitions, and aging-related stress. She also addresses addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. Many additional areas of emphasis include caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin issues, forgiveness work, and feelings of isolation or shame.

In sessions she listens, reflects, and presents practical choices rather than imposing a single path. Techniques draw on Trauma-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and emotionally-focused methods when helpful. Expect clear talk about goals and steps to try between sessions.

Lisa holds Missouri LCSW and Kansas LSCSW credentials. She practices in Missouri and offers services in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule therapy according to the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches can work online

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process past or recent harm by focusing on safe ways to work through upsetting memories and reactions. It often includes pacing and practical tools to reduce overwhelm. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration so the therapist follows the client's lead and offers choices rather than directions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches skills to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss which methods make sense for the person's goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or new needs arise.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a hectic life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets a person use video or audio depending on what feels comfortable and what their technology supports. Licensed professionals can adapt trauma-focused and CBT techniques to remote sessions, focusing on clear goals, homework between meetings, and step-by-step skill building.
