Who I Work With.
Most of the people I work with are high performers — smart, capable, and used to handling a lot in their life. They’re often perfectionistic, wired for achievement, and carrying more pressure than anyone around them realizes. On the outside, things look fine. On the inside, they’re stuck in stress cycles: worry, overthinking, irritability, burnout, or that lingering sense of “I should feel more satisfied than I do.”
Many of my clients come from New York or have spent a lot of time in that world, and now live in, or travel frequently to, South Florida. I see clients in person in Miami, and I work virtually in select locations where appropriate.
When it’s the right fit, I also work with motivated college students, graduate students, and early-career professionals, particularly those in competitive programs who want to strengthen focus, reduce anxiety, and learn skills that make pressure more manageable.
At a high level, my approach is results-oriented and values-based. I’m board-certified in CBT and DBT, and I use that clinical depth to help you build practical skills — emotion regulation, attention control, stress tolerance, and behavior change — so your life reflects what matters to you, not just what you’re good at.
Choose The Path That Best Matches What You’re Working On Right Now
Individual Therapy
For clients who want evidence-based therapy that actually moves.
This is structured, practical work for people who are ready to change patterns, not spend months circling the same conversations.
You might be functioning well on paper, but paying for it behind the scenes: worry you can’t shut off, irritability, burnout, perfectionism, avoidance, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment. You don’t need more insight. You need a plan, the right tools, and a process that creates traction.
Common reasons people start:
- anxiety, worry, or panic
- depression, burnout, or feeling flat
- perfectionism and harsh self-criticism
- emotional overreactions under pressure
- impulsive choices that create regret
- substance use that’s starting to cost you
- major transitions and identity shifts
- procrastination driven by avoidance
What Individual Therapy Looks Like
We begin with a structured intake and self-report measures that give us a baseline. That allows us to be efficient and specific from the first session, and it gives us a way to track progress over time.
Then we build a plan. It’s collaborative, but I’m not vague about it. I’ll tell you what I think will move the needle, and we’ll decide together where to start.
Sessions are active. You’ll learn skills, practice them, and apply them in your day-to-day life. This is time-limited by design for many people (often six months to a year), with the option for boosters when life flares something back up.

Coaching (High Achievers)
For high-functioning professionals who want to operate at a higher level.
You’re intelligent and capable. You don’t need someone to “motivate” you.
You need someone who can see blind spots, challenge assumptions, and help you execute more effectively.
You may not be in crisis but you know:
- your stress response is costing you
- your perfectionism slows you down
- your reactions in high-pressure moments aren’t always strategic
- your drive sometimes works against you
Coaching often focuses on:
- sustained focus and disciplined follow-through
- emotional composure under pressure
- leadership presence and influence
- making cleaner, faster decisions
- eliminating avoidance and inefficiency
- maintaining ambition without chronic burnout
- creating success that feels aligned, not hollow
What Coaching Looks Like
Coaching is pragmatic and goal-driven. We assess what’s happening. We determine what needs to change. We implement.
You’ll develop practical systems for thinking, responding, and executing differently, especially when the pressure is on. In the end, coaching is about sustainable excellence, not temporary intensity.
DBT Skills Groups
Many people were never taught practical skills for managing emotions, handling conflict, or coping with stress under pressure. DBT skills training is designed to change that.
This is a structured, skills-based group where you’ll learn and practice concrete tools to help you respond more effectively in high-stress, high-stakes situations, so your reactions are intentional, not automatic.
Over the course of 20 weeks, the group works through the full DBT skills curriculum:
- mindfulness (building awareness and focus)
- emotion regulation (understanding and managing emotional intensity)
distress tolerance (handling difficult moments without making things worse) - interpersonal effectiveness (navigating conflict and communication more skillfully)
- middle path (“Zen skills” for balance, flexibility, and perspective)
This is not a process group. It’s instructional, practical, and designed for real-world application. You’ll learn skills, apply them between sessions, and build consistency over time.
What to Expect
- Fully remote
- 90-minute sessions, once per week
- 20-week structured curriculum (with the option to repeat and deepen skills)
- Designed to complement individual therapy or coaching
You do not need to be in individual therapy with Dr. Lisa to participate. Many clients are referred by outside therapists or join alongside executive coaching work.
Who It’s For
This group is a strong fit if you:
- feel like your emotional reactions are stronger or faster than you’d like
- struggle with stress, overwhelm, or burnout
- want better tools for navigating relationships or conflict
- are high-functioning but know something isn’t working as well as it could
Getting Started
- Step 1: Submit an inquiry
- Step 2: Meet with Dr. Lisa to assess fit and placement
Webinars and Workshops
Practical education for people who want substance—not simply inspiration.
In high-stakes industries, stress is inevitable. Poor regulation is not. These trainings are designed to help professionals understand the mechanics of stress, attention, and emotional reactivity, and to develop practical systems that support sustained performance.
Grounded in CBT and DBT principles, sessions are structured, interactive, and focused on real-world application.
Topics may include
- managing stress without sacrificing performance
- perfectionism, burnout, and sustainable excellence
- mindfulness as a performance tool (not a trend)
- emotion regulation in high-conflict or high-pressure settings
- strengthening focus and cognitive flexibility
Workshops can be customized for leadership teams, law firms, financial professionals, academic programs, or private groups.
CBT/DBT and Coaching Services FAQ
Do you take insurance?
I’m an out-of-network provider and I don’t accept insurance directly. Some clients choose to pursue reimbursement through their plans, and I can provide the documentation insurers typically require.
Do you offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both?
I see clients in person in Miami. I also work virtually in select locations where appropriate, depending on the service and your location.
What is your intake process like?
I use a structured intake process. Before we meet, you’ll complete a set of self-report measures so I have a baseline and we can move efficiently. The first session is focused on understanding what you want to change, what’s driving the pattern, and what we should target first.
Do you give homework or tools between sessions?
Yes. This is skills-based work. I use practical tools, exercises, and structured strategies between sessions because that’s how change actually happens.
Do you offer between-session coaching or support?
For select clients, yes. Part of the concierge model is having access to coaching between sessions when it’s clinically appropriate because the moment you need the skill is rarely the moment you’re sitting in my office.
