Karissa Lederman
Licensed Social Worker
Hello! My name is Karissa Lederman, and I am a licensed social worker dedicated to helping individuals, children, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassion and practical support. I currently work in an outplacement school with middle and high school students. Prior to being a school social worker, I worked with a community agency as an in-home clinician. I specialize in supporting clients through stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
​
My approach to therapy is collaborative, strengths-based, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I believe that every person has the capacity for growth and resilience, and I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
​
In our work together, I integrate approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to meet you where you are, provide practical tools, and support you in building a healthier, more balanced life.
​
When I’m not in session, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my two dogs, and being outdoors.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
