About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 15 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction-related issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Lisa uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens first and helps clients set small, doable goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on skills that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
She favors approaches that teach coping tools and improve emotional awareness. Her background includes work in varied clinical settings such as inpatient psychiatric care, residential treatment, and outpatient clinics. That range shaped her ability to work with people who are navigating intense emotional experiences and major life changes.
She draws on fifteen years of practice to inform each session. Therapy blends short-term skills and longer-term exploration. Lisa often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thought patterns.
She also incorporates acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live with hard feelings while pursuing valued goals. Attachment-focused work and client-centered conversations help uncover patterns that affect relationships and self-worth. Sessions aim to build practical routines, improve communication, and reduce the day-to-day burden of symptoms.
Lisa frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person in treatment steers the pace and priorities.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them. It helps clients clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are hard to tolerate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so someone can try skills, reflect on what helps, and adjust the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for in-depth conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, caregiving, or medical needs and to use the format that feels most practical for skill practice and check-ins.
