Lisa Gore, LCSW

Lisa Gore is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She focuses on relationship and family concerns alongside self-esteem, career struggles, and life transitions. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps toward feeling better.

With ten years of clinical experience, she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions center on clear, manageable goals rather than jargon. Lisa helps clients untangle stress, anxiety, grief, and trauma-related reactions so daily life feels more manageable.

She also supports people facing intimacy-related issues, anger, and motivation or confidence challenges. Career and coaching concerns are addressed with concrete strategies to improve work satisfaction and direction. ADHD is listed among focus areas when attention and organization affect functioning.

Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then builds a plan that fits the client’s life. That plan can include practical tools, problem-solving, and pacing to match readiness for change. The goal is steady progress, not quick fixes.

If you are nervous about starting therapy, she aims to make the process calm and straightforward. Clients work together to set realistic next steps. To begin, use the site’s continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

Approaches that guide online work

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and clearer communication. One common approach emphasizes skill building for managing stress and anxiety through simple routines and coping tools. This helps people reduce day-to-day overwhelm and build steadier habits.

Another approach centers on addressing relationship and intimacy issues by improving communication and setting realistic boundaries. This work often involves practicing new ways to talk about needs and to respond differently in tense moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, situation, and pace. Together they review what’s working and adjust the plan as needed so progress feels achievable.

If you intend to meet online, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full-length meeting isn’t possible. They can also allow talking without being on camera or using less bandwidth when needed, depending on the formats offered. Discuss scheduling preferences when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions fit your life.
