About Lisa
Lisa Early is a licensed counselor with more than 12 years of practice as an LPC and LCMHC. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship or self-esteem struggles. Lisa encourages people to notice their strengths and use them to move forward.

Background and approach
Lisa also brings attention to cultural and veteran-related concerns when relevant. Her approach is collaborative. She treats clients as the expert on their own life while offering clear methods to try between sessions.
Many people appreciate having concrete steps to practice, rather than long abstract conversations. Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. She pairs those techniques with goal-oriented coaching to help people take real steps toward change.
The work moves at a pace set by the client. Sessions are offered through a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule. Lisa helps clients figure out what to try first and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
If someone needs help sorting out next steps, she guides that decision in early meetings.
How CBT and online sessions can help
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviors that maintain anxiety, depression, social fears, and related problems, giving concrete skills you can use between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, daily life, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts techniques as needed so the approach fits the person's preferences and progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow a full-session conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping the focus on steady practical progress.
