About Lisa
Lisa Briggs is a Michigan-licensed social worker with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing grief, stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life changes. She also has a background in hospice and end-of-life counseling.
Lisa approaches each person with respect and practical support. She starts by listening and helping people name what matters most to them. Sessions focus on strengths the client already has and small steps that build forward momentum.
Background and approach
Lisa believes people are the experts on their own stories and uses that as the foundation for planning change. Her work blends straightforward tools with open, nonjudgmental conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Solution-Focused strategies help set short-term goals and track progress in simple ways. Lisa aims to make sessions feel useful from the start. She helps people find coping strategies for grief and manage day-to-day stress and anxiety.
She also supports clients facing decisions or emotions tied to end-of-life care. Practical matters like next steps and homework are kept simple and concrete. People leave sessions with one or two clear actions to try before the next meeting.
That focus on doable moves helps build confidence and steady change over time.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what is said, and helps people notice their own strengths and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs a supportive space to process grief or emotional strain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Online CBT sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical behavior changes between meetings. This method can help with anxiety, stress, and boosting everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying a few tactics, checking what helps, and adjusting over time together.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short, ongoing reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress between sessions.
