She adapts sessions to each person's needs and builds a trusting therapeutic relationship. Lisa uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen carefully and focus on each person's goals.
Background and approach
She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Her background includes long-term work with those coping with divorce, loss, trauma, and addiction. She has supported people with parenting and family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and mood disorders such as bipolar mood challenges.
Lisa also addresses body image, fertility strain, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused. Lisa helps clients set small, manageable steps and checks progress along the way.
She uses mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people regulate emotions and reframe their stories when that fits the client's goals. People who reach out can expect plain language, respect, and practical tools. Lisa encourages action even when it feels hard and helps clients find ways to cope between sessions.
She offers therapy in English and practices from her Georgia license.
How Lisa uses therapy methods online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow the client's lead and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot negative thoughts and change small behaviors; this often includes practical exercises and homework that translate well to video or messaging formats.Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose approaches that match goals and preferences, and may blend techniques as needs evolve. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made and new issues come up.
Online formats like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, focused homework discussion, or when shorter, more frequent contact helps maintain momentum.
