About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Hammons helps people manage stress and anxiety and navigate relationship concerns. She supports clients working on self-esteem, depression, and adapting to life changes.
Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people make small, useful changes that add up over time. She brings 14 years of professional experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, or LPC. In sessions she focuses on listening, asking clear questions, and helping clients map out steps they can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and nonjudgmental so people can speak honestly about hard feelings. Dr. Hammons also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, eating issues, and feelings of emptiness.
She works with people dealing with divorce, communication problems, guilt, shame, and forgiveness. Aging and geriatric issues and co-morbidity are other areas she has supported over her career. Her style centers on collaboration.
Clients and therapist set goals together and try practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Progress is reviewed often so plans can be adjusted when needed. Sessions can include short-term coping skills and longer-term efforts to shift patterns that cause repeated distress.
People come for a single issue or to work through several connected concerns, and she aims to make therapy feel understandable and doable.
Approach, methods, and online options
Dr. Hammons uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change. One common approach she uses teaches coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as short breathing practices, activity planning, and breaking worries into manageable steps. These techniques help when symptoms feel overwhelming and daily life becomes hard to manage.She also applies methods that address relationship and communication patterns. These methods focus on identifying unhelpful interaction habits, practicing clearer ways to express needs, and rehearsing new responses so interactions feel less reactive and more intentional.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan when needed so therapy stays personally relevant.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls make it possible to see facial cues and hold longer sessions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or a lower-intensity way to stay connected between sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
