Lisa combines talk-based work with attention to everyday habits like sleep, movement, and nutrition when it fits the client's goals.

The emphasis is on short-term strategies that produce everyday relief and clearer next steps.

She frames therapy as a collaborative effort to increase coping skills and create more satisfying routines.
How Lisa's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where you are right now; the therapist follows your concerns and helps you find what feels most useful. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices to slow down racing thoughts and increase calm.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will consider your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked for you before. Sessions can shift between styles so you can try different tools and keep what helps the most.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into daily life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and demonstrating exercises, phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be used for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it possible to have regular contact, practice new skills between sessions, and schedule sessions around work and family responsibilities.
