Lisa Duran, LCSW — Therapist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Lisa!

I’m so glad you’re here. From the very beginning of my career, I’ve been drawn to helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, find their inner strength, and create meaningful change. With a background in both clinical social work and elementary education, I bring a unique perspective to the therapeutic process.

My focus

I specialize in child, adolescent, and adult therapy. I provide parent coaching and family consultation, offering tailored support that empowers individuals and strengthens family connections. I also have extensive experience supporting executive functioning skills, helping clients develop strategies for organization, focus, and time management.

My approach

My mission as a therapist is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, discover new perspectives, and develop the tools you need to thrive. Whether you’re looking to manage stress, improve relationships, or gain clarity and confidence in your life, I’m here to help you take that next step.

My communication style

I believe that it is important to develop trust and respect between a therapist and client. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that blends compassion, empathy, and honesty. I seek to help clients gain answers to their own questions through open-ended questions, reflection, and the exploration of emotions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started my career as an elementary educator, and eventually took time off to support and raise my children. I have always had the drive and mission to help others, specifically in a therapeutic setting. My lived experiences with my family gave me a continued drive to understand mental health and explore ways to enable others to thrive.

My goals for you

My approach to therapy is very goal-driven. I work collaboratively with clients to understand their backgrounds, struggles, and motivations, and together we create achievable, realistic goals.

Our first session

I utilize my first session as an opportunity to get to know each other and begin to develop a rapport. I strive to leave the first session with a clear understanding of the reasons you're seeking therapy, as well as knowledge about your background and lived experiences.
