About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with more than 34 years of experience. She brings a warm, direct style to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Lisa has worked with many issues including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship and parenting concerns, and career challenges.
She has experience across mental health and substance dependency settings and has helped people navigate reentry after incarceration. That background gives her an understanding of practical barriers and life changes people face when they need to rebuild routines and supports.
Background and approach
In session she is interactive and honest. She treats people with respect and compassion and avoids stigmatizing labels. Lisa aims to teach tools for coping and decision-making rather than doing the work for a client.
At times she will be direct when a straightforward approach is needed. Her work draws on approaches like acceptance and commitment practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. These methods are used to address anxiety, mood concerns, addictive behaviors, and problems with self-esteem and communication.
Lisa is comfortable addressing spiritual and faith questions and will include a person’s beliefs when they are important to the work. Her style is practical and goal oriented, with attention to the person behind the problem. She encourages taking small steps that add up to real change.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and supports people as they find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the problem and adjust the plan over time, so therapy stays useful and practical.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging adds flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a check-in fits a break. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to touch base between sessions or to have shorter, focused check-ins. These options make it simpler to fit counseling into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
