Getting to know Lisa Stanford

Hi there, I'm Lisa! I am a master level certified clinical social worker (LCSW-C) practicing in Maryland (MD) and Washington, D.C. (DC). My journey in social work has been diverse and enriching, having worked in labor & delivery, hospice, crisis response, private practice, program management, and faith-based counseling settings. Currently, I offer individual therapy, focusing on creating actionable steps towards meaningful change and building a life you love. My approach I believe that the therapeutic relationship is crucial to your progress. That's why I prioritize ensuring that we are a good match. I tailor my approach to your unique strengths and goals, integrating techniques from solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and strengths-based modalities. My commitment is to provide individualized and unique care, recognizing that the therapeutic process is a journey that requires patience, vulnerability, and commitment. I'm here to partner with you as you dig deep, learn, and grow towards a life that brings you true happiness. My focus I specialize in supporting clients through various life challenges, including postpartum concerns, women's issues, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, mood disorders, stress, life transitions, and grief, to name a few. My goal is to help you navigate these transitions and find a path to healing and growth. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. I will hold you accountable and challenge your thoughts by giving you alternative perspectives and ways to cope.
