Lisa Dubbert

Lisa Dubbert is a licensed clinical social worker with 20 years of professional experience in North Carolina. She brings a down-to-earth, relatable manner to sessions and focuses on practical ways to manage everyday struggles. Lisa aims to make the first step feel less intimidating and helps people begin conversations about hard things.

She often helps with stress and anxiety, coping with grief and loss, and problems around intimacy. She also supports people working on motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. Additional areas she focuses on include caregiver stress, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, social anxiety and phobia, women’s issues, and isolation and loneliness.

Lisa creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through thoughts and feelings. Sessions tend to be conversational and practical, with a focus on what the person wants to change. She listens closely and helps people find small, realistic steps to try between sessions.

Her approach centers on building trust and working together to set goals that matter to each person. She encourages realistic progress rather than quick fixes. Many people find having a steady, calm presence useful when life feels uncertain or isolating.

If you are nervous about starting therapy, Lisa notes that taking the first step takes courage. Prospective clients are asked to use the service's Start Therapy button to begin the matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional support. One common approach she employs helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This method is useful for everyday worries, social anxiety, and low mood.

Another approach she draws on emphasizes problem-solving and step-by-step experiments in daily life. That style is aimed at building confidence, improving motivation, and reducing avoidance around difficult situations such as intimacy concerns or social fears.

Finding the right approach is something she does together with each person. She listens to your goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. The plan evolves based on what helps and what feels manageable for you.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session feels like too much. Therapists can also use phone or video in different ways to match your needs, and she will talk with you about what will work best for your situation.
