About Lisa

Lisa Butrymowicz is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 23 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and bipolar disorder. She focuses on practical conversation and steady support so people can take small, workable steps toward change. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she adapts sessions to each person's needs.

In therapy she prioritizes clear goals and simple skills you can use between sessions. Lisa uses approaches that help change unhelpful thinking, manage intense emotions, and strengthen close bonds. She will work with clients to set realistic steps and track progress over time.

Her background includes long-term clinical work supporting people through life transitions and trauma. That experience informs how she helps clients who worry about abandonment, attachment issues, or shifts in mood and behavior. She also addresses concerns like caregiving stress, codependency, communication problems, and challenges tied to adoption and blended families.

Sessions tend to focus on learning tools, practicing new responses, and talking through patterns that get in the way of what matters most. Lisa emphasizes collaboration - clients and therapist decide together what to try next. This approach helps when facing midlife questions or other major life changes.

She welcomes people who want a practical, steady partner for change and who are ready to try new strategies while honoring their history and values.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and refocus on what matters. It uses mindfulness and values-driven choices to move toward a more meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical strategies to change thinking and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. Those strategies often include simple exercises to practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and day-to-day needs. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and useful.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes continuity easier during life transitions, since sessions can be scheduled from wherever a person happens to be located. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can work together with clients to decide how best to structure sessions so they fit into everyday life.
