About Lisa
Lisa Simpson is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, or the fallout from trauma. She works with teens and adults who are having trouble sleeping, concentrating, or enjoying things they once liked. Her style is direct and practical, with attention to everyday problems like relationships, parenting, and work struggles.
With 12 years of experience, Lisa blends talk therapy with tools that help people cope day to day.
Background and approach
She uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person’s goals in view. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Her background also includes psychodynamic and Jungian ideas that look at patterns from your past and how they turn up now.
Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolbox when someone needs support finding the motivation to change. These methods are adapted to the person in front of her rather than applied the same way to everyone. Lisa helps people work through family of origin issues, grief, and painful transitions like divorce or adoption-related challenges.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, codependency, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. Conversations often focus on clearer communication, setting boundaries, and rebuilding trust in relationships. Clients can expect straightforward language, practical homework between sessions, and a plan that targets their immediate concerns while also tracking longer-term goals.
Sessions may address coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and steps to reconnect with meaningful activities.
How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered work focuses on what matters most to the person in the room and helps shape goals and the pace of therapy. This approach is useful for people who need a supportive space to sort priorities and make practical decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT sessions typically include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and using straightforward tools to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change when they feel stuck. In online conversations this looks like focused questions, reflective listening, and small goal-setting to build momentum.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
