Background and approach
Sessions tend to be practical and focused on concrete steps clients can try between meetings. Lisa combines problem-solving strategies with attention to emotional regulation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and DBT ideas to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and track progress. Clients often come with stress from parenting, relationship strain, or major life changes. Lisa also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, anger, ADHD-related challenges, and issues connected to adoption, attachment, or blended families.
She works with those facing substance use, financial strain, or caregiver stress. Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. Lisa aims to help clients find clear next steps, build coping skills, and strengthen everyday routines.
She frames therapy as a team effort toward manageable change.
Approaches and how online therapy fits
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and their own goals. It means the therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients identify their strengths and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to reduce worry and improve mood. These methods can help with anxiety, stress, low mood, and difficulties with motivation or parenting.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to decide which strategies make the most sense based on current needs, goals, and comfort with different techniques. That plan can change as progress happens and priorities shift.
Online sessions offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls are useful when visual cues and a fuller conversation matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging can support brief updates, skill practice, and ongoing encouragement between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can blend these formats to fit a client’s routine and therapeutic goals.
