Lisa Calloway

Lisa Calloway is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 24 years of professional experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma or grief. Many come when mood issues or life changes leave them unsure what to do next. Lisa focuses on clear, practical conversation. Sessions are a place to talk through current problems, test small changes, and practice new ways of coping. She uses straightforward tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques when they fit the concern. Her approach is direct and collaborative. Lisa listens to what matters most and helps structure sessions around the next achievable steps. That can mean breaking down a problem, challenging unhelpful thinking, or rehearsing communication for difficult conversations. She has worked with people facing caregiver stress, workplace strain, isolation, midlife transitions, and issues that follow trauma or loss. Lisa also supports people dealing with panic attacks, social anxiety, and seasonal mood changes. Over two decades of practice have given her experience across many life situations. She encourages realistic goals and measurable change rather than vague promises. Sessions are intended to be practical and focused on what feels useful now.

How her approaches translate to online work

The client-centered approach centers the client's concerns and preferences. In practice this means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and shaping sessions around the issues the client brings. It helps with uncertainty, relationship decisions, and figuring out what matters in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors in small steps. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, mood problems, and stress-related issues.

Finding the right method is something the therapist and client will decide together. She will review what the client wants to change, try approaches that fit those goals, and adjust as needed so sessions remain practical and relevant.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or avoiding a camera for audio-only conversations if that helps. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity through life transitions and day-to-day demands.
