Dr. Lisa Zaslove

Dr. Lisa Zaslove offers a straightforward, experience-driven approach to therapy. She is a California psychologist with the credential CA Psychologist 13358 and 35 years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions. She also supports those coping with relationship strains, eating concerns, grief, and the impact of trauma.

Her style aims to make conversations easy to start. She creates a nonjudgmental space where people can say what they are feeling. The goal is practical progress rather than jargon or long lectures. She encourages small steps that add up to real change.

In sessions she helps clients build tools for everyday life. That can mean learning ways to calm anxious thoughts, setting boundaries in difficult relationships, or developing healthier coping habits for addiction and eating struggles. She also addresses concerns like low self-esteem, anger, ADHD challenges, and feelings of isolation or loneliness.

She brings decades of practice to complicated life transitions. That experience includes supporting people through parenting stress, compassion fatigue, bipolar mood concerns, and questions about life purpose. She adapts the conversation to what each person needs in the moment.

Clients who are ready to start are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability. The intake process helps match goals and practical scheduling. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Zaslove uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on learning practical strategies to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, attention shifts, and stepwise exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce immediate distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

Another approach emphasizes behavioral change and routine adjustments to address addictions, eating concerns, and mood regulation. This involves setting clear, attainable goals, tracking small wins, and adjusting strategies that aren't working. These methods are useful for people who want concrete tools and measurable progress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify needs, goals, and preferences, and then selects or adapts methods that fit. Clients can expect to review how interventions are going and change course as needed.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how appointments will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find the flexibility helps them maintain consistency and apply tools between sessions.
