Lisa Daly, LCSW, LSCSW

Lisa Daly is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people find more balance and clarity. She holds LCSW in Missouri and LSCSW in Kansas and focuses on practical, person-centered care that starts with listening. Lisa aims to create a respectful space where clients set the agenda and pick approaches that fit their goals.

She uses client-centered methods to let people lead the conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy supports improving emotional connection in close relationships. Lisa also draws on solution-focused and existential perspectives when helpful.

Her practice addresses common struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship problems. She also works with issues like OCD, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, parenting strains, and midlife crisis. Additional areas of focus include aging and caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin issues, and feelings of isolation or lack of life purpose.

Sessions emphasize clear communication, improved self-esteem, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. Lisa prefers short-term work when that fits a person's goals and will suggest referrals when a different kind of help is needed. She listens first, offers options, and asks clients to speak up if something in therapy isn’t working.

People meet her in Missouri and sessions are conducted in English. The approach is straightforward and collaborative, aimed at helping people cope with life changes and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches and remote care options

Lisa commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working with people. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead, which helps clarify goals and build trust. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical exercises to test new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or mood problems.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship concerns when improving emotional connection is a priority; this helps people name feelings and change interaction patterns. These approaches are presented as tools that can be mixed to match the issues a person brings to sessions.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative decision-making helps shape session focus and homework between meetings.
