Background and approach

She works collaboratively to set goals and practices that fit each person’s routine. Her approach blends several well-known methods to match a client’s needs. That can mean learning skills to change unhelpful thoughts, building awareness of values and actions, or exploring attachment and emotional patterns.

She also uses counseling methods that prioritize empathic listening and helping clients make meaning of difficult experiences. Lisa has worked with adults across many stages of life, including caregivers and people facing discrimination or social anxiety. Her practice pays attention to family transitions, blended family dynamics, and issues like obsessive-compulsive concerns or ADHD where daily routines get disrupted.

Clients meet with her by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. She practices in Michigan and conducts therapy in English.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take action toward those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings appear. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions where motivation and meaning matter.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking patterns and to build new habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and coping skills.

Lisa also uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and helping a person feel understood. This approach supports people working through relationship issues, grief, attachment concerns, and caregiver stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. That conversation guides which techniques are tried and when adjustments are made so the plan fits the person's life.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing reflection between sessions and can fit into breaks during the day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent even with a full schedule.
