About Lisa
Lisa Redd, MD, LCPC, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, mood swings, addiction, or grief. She writes short, clear goals with clients and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions. Lisa aims to make sessions calm and nonjudgmental so people can say what they’re really thinking and feeling.
She works with people facing trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, and substance or process addictions. Lisa also supports those navigating relationship strain, parenting challenges, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns such as attachment difficulties, guilt, or obsessive behaviors and helps people find ways to respond differently. In sessions she helps people break big problems into small, manageable actions. Conversations include coping skills for anxiety, routines for mood regulation, and strategies to reduce harmful habits.
Lisa explains options clearly and checks in about what is and isn’t working. Lisa has four years of clinical experience and practices in Maryland. She offers multiple formats so people can pick what fits their schedule and comfort.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. People who want to begin can expect a short intake and collaborative planning. Lisa supports clients as they try new behaviors, adjust plans, and set realistic expectations.
Her approach centers on steady progress and practical problem solving.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common strand is skills-based work that teaches breathing, grounding, and routine-building to reduce anxiety and stabilize mood. These techniques are helpful when someone needs immediate, usable tools for stress, panic, or mood swings.She also uses structured approaches to address addictive behaviors and compulsions, breaking habits into triggers, responses, and replacement actions. This helps people notice patterns and practice alternative behaviors in daily life. Trauma-informed conversation is another element, where pacing and support are emphasized so people can process difficult memories without feeling overwhelmed.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will ask about what matters most, try methods that fit a person’s goals, and adjust plans based on feedback. Clients have a say in which techniques to keep and which to change, making the work collaborative.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for full sessions and visual cues, phone is useful for quick check-ins or lower bandwidth, chat allows brief check-ins during a busy day, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
