Lisa LaBrusciano

If you find yourself overthinking conversations, getting stuck in the same relationship patterns, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed during conflict, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling frustrated by reactions they can't seem to change, whether that's shutting down, people-pleasing, becoming emotionally reactive, or replaying interactions long after they've happened. I'm a down-to-earth therapist who values genuine connection and practical solutions, and I work with individuals, couples, and families who want to better understand their patterns and create healthier relationships.

My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in real-life application. Together, we'll look at what's happening beneath the surface of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships while also building practical tools you can use outside of session. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Gottman-informed work to help clients improve communication, manage anxiety, strengthen boundaries, and respond differently to challenges that keep showing up in their lives. Therapy with me is conversational and authentic, but also focused on meaningful change.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and start understanding what brought you to therapy. We'll talk about the challenges you're facing, the patterns you've noticed in your relationships or daily life, and what you hope will be different moving forward. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of where we're headed together. We'll begin identifying goals and creating a plan that feels realistic, personalized, and aligned with what matters most to you. I invite you to schedule a free consultation when you are ready.
