Lisa draws on Jungian ideas when exploring personal meaning and on solution-focused tools to set clear goals and track progress. Her style is direct and compassionate.

She works with adults across a wide age range and accepts international clients. Conversations are aimed at restoring freedom, renewed self-worth, and forward movement rather than rehashing problems without direction.
How Lisa's Approaches Work Online
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that worsen mood or anxiety. CBT is practical and often focuses on concrete skills that can be practiced between sessions.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. Mindfulness work is brief and skills-focused, which fits well with remote sessions.
Finding the best approach is a shared process. Lisa discusses goals and preferences with each person and may combine CBT, mindfulness, narrative, or solution-focused tools to fit the problem at hand. She encourages regular check-ins to see what is or isn't working and adjusts the plan together.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is needed. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, homework prompts, or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit consistent therapy into a schedule and to try different formats as needs change.
