About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Page is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience. She draws on straightforward, goal-oriented methods to help people manage anxiety, stress, sleep problems, mood concerns, and substance use challenges.
Her style is direct yet compassionate, focused on practical steps people can take right away. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She combines that with Motivational Interviewing to address resistance to change and to help people find motivation that fits their life.
Background and approach
Mindfulness techniques are woven in to calm racing thoughts and improve sleep and focus. Dr. Page earned her doctorate from the Colorado School of Professional Psychology and holds an IL LCPC license.
She also spent a decade teaching as an adjunct professor at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her background includes work on lifestyle and sleep medicine topics aimed at better daily habits. In sessions she looks for clear, achievable goals and practical tools patients can use between meetings.
She describes herself as a straight-shooter when needed, offering honest feedback alongside encouragement. This approach is meant to help people make steady progress toward change. She also has experience addressing grief, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and recovery from drug and alcohol addiction.
She supports clients exploring career concerns, relationship difficulties, and the emotional impact of adoption and foster care. Sessions focus on small, measurable steps - improving sleep habits, reducing anxiety-driven behaviors, or building routines that support recovery and wellbeing. Dr.
Page aims to help each person become a better version of themselves through clear plans and steady encouragement.
How practical approaches work online
Dr. Page often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and actions that keep anxiety and low mood going. CBT sessions focus on small experiments, new routines, and breaking big problems into doable steps. Mindfulness Therapy is used to slow down racing thoughts, improve sleep, and build tolerance for uncomfortable feelings through simple attention and breathing exercises.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and daily routines. That might mean emphasizing motivational work to build commitment, or focusing on sleep and habit changes first - the plan is adjusted together over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video calls allow full face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice skills in real life, and adapt therapy to a busy schedule.
