About Lisa
Lisa Halkias is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Vermont with three years of experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strains, social anxiety and phobia, and struggles with self-esteem. Lisa also supports people dealing with family conflict and life transitions such as divorce or separation.
She focuses on practical conversation and clear steps people can try between sessions. Lisa talks through communication problems, control issues, caregiver stress, and financial worries in straightforward terms. Sessions address patterns like abandonment fears and self-love questions so individuals can better understand how those patterns show up in daily life.
Her work often centers on recent life changes and the decisions that follow. Lisa helps people name what feels most urgent and set small, manageable goals. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and introduce tools that may reduce overwhelm.
People who meet with Lisa can expect direct discussion about relationship dynamics and parenting pressures. She highlights concrete skills for clearer communication and calmer responses. When trauma-related concerns arise, she supports steps toward stabilization and pacing rather than pushing through difficult material all at once.
Sessions are carried out in a professional practice in Vermont. Conversations are in English. To begin, visitors use the site matching process and schedule a first session after completing a short questionnaire.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address stress, anxiety, and relationship patterns. Cognitive-behavioral style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to see what helps reduce anxiety in social situations and everyday life.She also incorporates trauma-informed stabilization strategies that emphasize pacing, grounding, and building tolerable coping skills. These methods support people who are recovering from past hurt without moving into intense material before they are ready.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss what feels most useful and adapt techniques based on the client’s goals and preferences. That means the plan can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
