About Lisa
Lisa Bicket is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Illinois with more than 22 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and major life changes. Lisa aims to make sessions straightforward and respectful so people can get to what matters most quickly.
She uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's goals first. Sessions often include clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness exercises are offered to help calm the body and steady attention during hard moments. Lisa also brings solution-focused techniques to help people build small, doable plans between sessions. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.
Together these methods create a flexible, step-by-step way to tackle problems like sleep disruption, anger, or low self-esteem. Her work includes support for relationship and family stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and trauma recovery. Lisa pays attention to how past family experiences shape current patterns and helps people test different ways of responding.
She favors short, concrete strategies people can use right away. People who want a calm, practical therapist often find her approach useful. She encourages honest conversation and steady progress.
Sessions are collaborative, focused, and paced to each person's needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Lisa commonly draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and shapes sessions around the issues you raise, helping you set the agenda and goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness therapy offers simple breathing and attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and concentration.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your needs and goals, then try techniques that fit your preferences. That collaborative approach lets you steer sessions toward what helps most, whether that is short-term problem solving or deeper emotional work.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversation and learning new skills. Phone sessions can be useful when video bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging supports brief check-ins, quick coping strategies, or a way to keep momentum between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
