About Lisa Levin
Lisa Levin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana with twenty years of clinical experience helping people work through trauma, addictions, relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, and issues with self-esteem. She approaches treatment with a practical, results-focused mindset and adapts methods to fit each person’s unique needs rather than relying on a single formula.
Her practice covers a broad range of concerns including stress, chronic illness and pain, caregiver strain, attachment and abandonment issues, blended-family dynamics, and the long-term effects of discrimination or spiritual harm. She treats both single-event and cumulative trauma and recognizes that emotional or relational wounds can be traumatic even when no physical violence occurred. Lisa also treats behavioral and substance addictions, understanding that patterns around love, sex, pornography, gambling, shopping, or gaming can be as disruptive as substance use.
Lisa holds the LCSW credential, which indicates a license to provide clinical social work and psychotherapy. In addition to social work licensure, she has pursued advanced training across several modalities, including EMDR, prolonged exposure, cognitive behavioral methods, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and hypnotherapy. She is board certified and has specialized training in addiction care as well as certification in the Emotion Code, an energy-oriented technique she integrates judiciously when appropriate.
Committed to social justice, she actively advocates for equality and supports people of color and LGBTQIA+ individuals as they address the effects of discrimination and microaggressions. She prefers to arrange appointments directly and tailors scheduling to match client availability.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, accept difficult thoughts and feelings, and commit to actions that lead to a more meaningful life. It is often useful for chronic anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress where avoidance has become a pattern.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current attachment styles. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, blended-family stress, and wounds related to inconsistent caregiving.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and problematic coping strategies. It is goal-oriented and often used alongside trauma-informed work and addiction treatment.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with people to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - allowing people to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings. These options make scheduling more manageable around work, caregiving, or mobility limitations and help maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
