About Lisa
Lisa Amarlapudi is a California licensed psychologist with eight years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD, and major life changes. Lisa approaches clients with a practical, straightforward style and an emphasis on building on each person’s strengths.
She believes people are the experts on their own stories. Her role is to listen, reflect, and offer tools that fit each person’s life.
Background and approach
Lisa frames change as a step-by-step process and helps set small, achievable goals. In sessions she talks through current problems, identifies patterns that contribute to distress, and practices ways to respond differently. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, and questions about life purpose and self-worth.
Work on forgiveness and self-love is offered alongside mood and coping strategies. Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood disorders and anxiety. She adapts methods to the person in front of her rather than following one fixed plan.
Her style is collaborative and direct, with an emphasis on practical skills people can use between sessions. People who want clear guidance and steady support often find this approach helpful. Lisa meets clients where they are and helps them move toward more manageable days and clearer priorities.
Online approaches for anxiety and mood support
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to anxiety and mood concerns. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills to manage stress and anxious thoughts. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing alternative responses that reduce worry and reactivity. Another approach centers on behavioral strategies to stabilize mood and improve daily routine. This involves planning manageable activities, improving sleep and self-care habits, and testing small behavior changes to lift mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose and adapt methods based on their goals, daily life, and preferences. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan over time so therapy fits the person's real-world needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Lisa provides video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or other obligations while keeping treatment consistent and practical.
