Therapeutic approaches that fit into your life online
Lisa blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make changes that matter. Client-centered therapy means the conversation follows what is most important to the person, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She will also use solution-focused and motivational ideas when it makes sense, helping clients set clear short-term goals and find reasons to keep moving forward. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review what helps, adjust goals, and try different techniques until a good fit is found.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video sessions let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, short coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep momentum between sessions and fit therapy into a busy life.
