About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Zaslove is a California psychologist (CA Psychologist 13358) with 35 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, eating concerns, depression, grief, trauma, and other life stresses. Dr. Zaslove also addresses parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues of guilt and shame.
She focuses on straightforward conversation and practical problem solving in sessions. She invites people to talk through what they are feeling and to notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions are conversational and aimed at giving people ways to respond differently in stressful moments.
Her background includes long experience in clinical settings helping people manage behavior and mood problems. That years-long practice has shaped a calm, direct style that centers on clear steps and realistic goals. She helps people identify what matters most and break larger problems into manageable parts.
When forgiveness, regret, or self-blame come up, she pays attention to the specific memories and interactions that keep those feelings alive. She works with people to name painful thoughts, test unhelpful assumptions, and practice small changes that feel doable.
People who choose her often want practical tools and straightforward feedback. To begin, she asks about current struggles, what has helped before, and what a reasonable next step would look like. From there she and the client set short-term goals and review progress over time.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Dr. Zaslove uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-style approaches look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and help people test beliefs that fuel guilt, shame, anxiety, or low mood. Behavioral strategies add specific actions to shift routines, reduce avoidance, and rebuild confidence after setbacks.She also uses practical problem-solving methods that break big issues into small, doable steps. These methods work well for coping with cravings, managing mood swings, improving communication, and handling grief or life changes. Each approach is explained in simple terms and practiced during sessions so people leave with usable skills.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and past attempts, and then suggest techniques to try. Progress is reviewed together and methods are adjusted based on what helps most over time.
