About Lisa
Lisa Guerra, LPC focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety while working through life changes. She aims to make therapy a practical part of everyday life. Lisa speaks plainly and offers clear steps people can try between sessions.
She practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions influence feelings. Lisa also uses the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and Trauma-Focused Therapy when past hurt affects daily functioning.
Background and approach
These approaches guide short-term skills and longer conversations about patterns. Sessions start with straightforward goals and small, doable steps. People learn coping techniques for panic, worry, low mood, and sleep disruption.
Lisa also helps with relationship communication, parenting strain, grief, and career stress through skill-building and real examples. Her background includes seven years as a mental health clinician and two decades of prior work as a paramedic. That combination informs a calm, practical style when facing intense emotions or high-stress jobs.
She practices in Texas and holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential. Therapy sessions may include homework exercises, breathing and grounding practices, and changes to everyday routines. The work is collaborative - the person sets goals and Lisa helps test new ways of coping.
Progress is measured by how life feels different between sessions, not by labels. People who choose her often want clear tools, a steady approach to anxiety, and support handling transitions. Lisa emphasizes small changes that add up to more calm and clearer decisions over time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT often includes simple homework and practical exercises to change what people do and think between sessions.She also applies the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, focusing on communication skills, problem-solving, and rebuilding connection. This approach uses structured conversations and exercises to improve how partners talk and make decisions together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in about what's working and adapts techniques over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for longer therapy conversations and demonstrations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for short check-ins, and text messaging lets people keep ongoing contact between meetings. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives rather than requiring travel.
