Lisa DeLuca, LCSW-R

Lisa DeLuca is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Registered (LCSW-R) practicing in eastern Suffolk County, New York. She supports parents, teens, couples, families, and older adults, guiding them toward healing, greater clarity, and a stronger sense of self. Many people arrive feeling isolated or stuck after replaying worries and memories alone; through therapeutic interaction she fosters movement and forward progress.

Her work emphasizes self-empowerment and effectiveness in life, work, and relationships, with an aim toward a more authentic and heartfelt expression of the self. Lisa helps people identify and articulate their individual purpose while working from a strengths perspective - the belief that the resources needed for change already exist and that it is never too late to gain clarity and shape the life one wants.

Her areas of focus include teenage issues and parenting teens, marriage counseling and relationship communication coaching that can be effective even when one partner attends alone, anxiety and depression, self-esteem and identity expression, stress management and mindfulness, end of life and eldercare concerns, family caregiver burnout, grief, dementia-related issues, spirituality, and questions of meaning. She earned a Master of Social Work from SUNY Stony Brook in 1996 and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Fordham University in 1984, and has completed post-graduate training in Bowen Family Systems Therapy.
