About Lisbeth
Lisbeth Helsel is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New Jersey with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, and family issues. She also lists areas such as guilt and shame, forgiveness, divorce and separation, and self-love among her focuses.
Her approach is practical and straightforward. She uses client-centered conversation to listen first and help people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her work when patterns of thinking and behavior need clearer steps to change.
Mindfulness-based ideas are mixed into sessions to help with symptom management and grounding. Solution-focused techniques help set concrete, short-term goals so progress can be visible and measurable. Sessions emphasize what a person can do between meetings as much as what happens during them.
She aims to set achievable goals together and encourages open, honest sharing without judgment. The tone in sessions is paced to the client, with support to try small experiments and adjustments. Practical coping skills for day-to-day life are a frequent focus.
Lisbeth has experience working with people affected by trauma, addiction, career shifts, and seasonal mood changes. Her background supports work on family-of-origin patterns and the often-heavy feelings of guilt and shame. People interested in starting are invited to use the matching and scheduling process to arrange a first session.
How Lisbeth uses CBT and client-centered work online
Lisbeth combines client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in practical ways. Client-centered Therapy starts by listening and reflecting to help people name their concerns and priorities. It’s useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to talk through feelings like guilt and shame.CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and breaks them down into manageable steps. It’s helpful for anxiety, depressive thinking, and addictive behaviors where concrete experiments and homework can change daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy is also used to teach breathing and grounding practices that reduce overwhelm and support regulation between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try based on needs, goals, and what feels most practical. That choice can be adjusted as progress is observed.
