About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Page is a licensed clinician with 15 years of experience who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. She uses clear, goal-oriented work to help clients address practical problems and reach everyday goals.
Her background in health psychology informs a focus on lifestyle factors that affect mood, energy, and recovery. Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with mindfulness and motivational techniques added when useful.
Background and approach
Sessions are direct and collaborative; she will help clients set realistic steps and check progress over time. She describes herself as a straight-shooter when needed and aims to give individualized care rather than one-size-fits-all advice. Dr.
Page earned her doctorate at the Colorado School of Professional Psychology, now the University of the Rockies. She also spent a decade teaching as an adjunct professor at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. These roles shaped her interest in evidence-informed tools and the practical teaching of coping skills.
Her work reaches many kinds of life challenges beyond mood and sleep. She also addresses relationship stress, grief, career struggles, body image and eating-related problems, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, and issues linked to adoption and foster care. She brings measured strategies to these concerns and helps people break tasks into manageable steps.
Outside of clinical work she supports local social justice organizations and co-authored an audiobook on burnout. She is licensed as an LCPC in Illinois and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video, phone, chat, and text-based messaging.
Practical approaches for online care
Online therapy with Dr. Page builds on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to tackle day-to-day problems. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going; it’s often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve resistance to change and find their own reasons to take action, which is helpful for addictions, weight management, and lifestyle changes.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. Together they will try methods that fit the person and adjust the plan as progress is tracked.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so therapy can fit into work breaks, evenings, or days when travel is difficult. Video is closer to an in-person visit, phone can be lower bandwidth, chat or text lets someone check in between sessions, and messaging supports brief check-ins and homework follow-ups. These options make it easier to keep consistent work toward goals while balancing daily life.
