Getting to know Ivona Lazarovska
You get through the workday, take care of what needs to get done, and then find yourself replaying conversations or worrying about what you missed. You may be feeling overwhelmed, struggling to set boundaries, or noticing patterns you want to change.
I’m Ivona Lazarovska, LCSW, LCADC. I earned my MSW at Rutgers and have 11 years of experience in behavioral health, including mental health and substance use treatment, clinical supervision, and program leadership. At New Intentions Therapy, I primarily provide virtual individual therapy for adults in New Jersey and also offer couples therapy. I help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, life transitions, and substance use.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. We’ll work together to understand what’s keeping you stuck and build skills you can use in everyday life. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach is individualized, collaborative, and focused on helping you create meaningful change. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), solution-focused, and trauma-informed approaches based on your needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck, work through ambivalence, strengthen coping and communication skills, and develop practical strategies you can use in everyday life. I balance insight and reflection with active, goal-oriented work so therapy feels both supportive and productive.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Our first session is an opportunity for me to get to know you and for you to get a feel for whether we’re a good fit. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what has been going on in your life, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, strengths, challenges, and current needs. You don’t need to come prepared with all the answers. We’ll start where you are and begin identifying goals and a direction for therapy together.
