Lisa Carnicelli

Lisa Carnicelli is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage anger, stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and life changes. Lisa offers a calm, collaborative presence and centers sessions on practical steps people can use right away.

Before practicing privately she worked across nonprofits, higher education, and community settings. That background shaped her flexible approach to common problems like depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, and grief. She draws on widely used methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in session.

Her meetings tend to be warm and goal-focused. Lisa helps people identify patterns in thinking and behavior, practice new responses, and track progress over time. She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build coping skills and reduce reactivity.

People often come for help with relationship conflicts, communication problems, commitment worries, or blended family challenges. She also works with issues like panic attacks, seasonal mood shifts, and low self-esteem, and supports those coping with career strain or compassion fatigue.

Sessions emphasize collaboration and small, manageable steps. Lisa invites people to set clear goals, try tailored strategies between meetings, and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

How these approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns without judgment. It helps people feel understood and guides the pace and goals of therapy based on what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many stress-related problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and work with emotions that drive relationship patterns and personal reactions. It can be useful for intimacy issues, communication problems, and repairing connection after conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and suggest a plan that may combine elements from different methods. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce time spent traveling, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone avoid being on camera if that helps them engage better. Licensed professionals adapt tools and exercises used in person for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
