About Lisa
Lisa Zwagerman is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Wisconsin. She brings three years of counseling experience and a background that includes mental health counseling, career counseling, and life coaching. Lisa aims to be a calm, warm presence for people facing major life transitions and day-to-day stressors.
She focuses on helping people who struggle with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship and family concerns, and common parenting challenges. She also supports those managing grief, trauma and abuse, eating issues, career shifts, and the effects of chronic illness.
Background and approach
Lisa works with people dealing with compassion fatigue, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and other co-occurring difficulties. Lisa’s style is client-centered and strength-focused. She uses cognitive behavioral approaches and practical tools to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior.
Sessions are collaborative and aim to build skills that can be used between meetings. Her additional interests include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and first responder concerns. She also addresses communication problems, codependency, and coping after a disaster.
Sessions may include short-term problem solving and longer work on underlying patterns. Lisa offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules based on the therapist’s availability.
How Lisa's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-centered therapy puts the person's experience first. It focuses on listening, building trust, and shaping goals around what matters most to the individual. This approach helps with relationship stress, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with stressful situations by building concrete skills and exercises to practice between sessions.
Lisa will work collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. Together they will set goals, try methods that fit the problem, and adjust the plan when something is not helping. The choice of techniques is guided by the person’s needs, goals, and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when a person needs flexible, shorter contacts throughout the week. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep progress moving between appointments.
