Lisa Carnicelli, NY LMHC 001149

Welcome! I'm Lisa Carnicelli, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I earned my Master of Science in Counseling and Psychological Services, followed by a Certificate of Advanced Study in Counseling and Psychological Services. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of providing counseling in nonprofit, private practice, higher education, and community settings.

I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationship and family issues, parenting concerns, trauma, abuse, life transitions, and personal growth. It has been a true privilege to support people as they discover their strengths, overcome obstacles, and move toward the lives they want to create.

I believe that seeking support is a sign of strength, and everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space to be heard without judgment. My counseling style is warm, collaborative, and personalized to meet your unique needs. While my approach is eclectic, I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical strategies for meaningful, lasting change.

Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is the foundation of my work. Together, we will explore your concerns, identify your strengths, set achievable goals, and develop tools that empower you to move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and well-being.

Whether you're facing a difficult season, working through long-standing challenges, or simply looking to grow into the best version of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey. I look forward to getting to know you and partnering with you as you work toward a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life. Welcome to BetterHelp!
