About Lisbeth
Lisbeth Helsel is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New Jersey with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship concerns, grief, and parenting strains. Her approach includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies.
Lisbeth helps people set small, practical goals they can try between sessions. She uses clear, direct conversation and evidence-informed tools to address symptoms and everyday problems. Sessions focus on what is working, what needs to change, and how to make those changes manageable.
When addiction or substance concerns are present, she draws on practical planning and coping skills to reduce harm and support change. For people facing separation or family conflict, the work often centers on boundaries, communication, and repairing daily routines. For grief and trauma, she blends present-focused techniques with pacing that suits each person.
Her background in social work shapes a case-oriented style. That means attention to life context such as work, parenting responsibilities, and community resources. She encourages straightforward goal setting and tracks progress in ways clients can see.
Lisbeth asks clients to take part in choosing methods and goals. She aims for sessions that fit into busy lives and produce steps people can use between meetings. To begin, readers are asked to review available scheduling options and complete the intake steps to arrange an initial meeting.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means sessions focus on the client's priorities and experience. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thought and behavior into concrete steps. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and addiction-related habits. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist and client will review what is most useful for the problem at hand, the person's preferences, and practical needs. That may mean mixing methods - for example using CBT skill practice plus mindfulness exercises - and adjusting as progress is reviewed.
Practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats you confirm when booking. Please check current session options before scheduling. Many people find remote appointments easier to fit into work and family schedules, allow quick check-ins on busy days, and remove travel time. Other practical advantages include being able to do brief phone check-ins when bandwidth is limited, or using video when visual cues help the work. The therapist will discuss which format best supports the client's goals and daily routine.
