She is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in New Jersey with 35 years of experience. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping people regain balance and purpose.

Background and approach
Lisa pays attention to how life stories shape current difficulties and works to build useful coping skills. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment principles to clarify values and take steps toward them. Emotion-focused techniques are used when feelings need to be better understood and regulated.
Existential perspectives help when questions about meaning and life direction come up. Sessions are practical and conversational. People can expect to set clear goals, practice skills between sessions, and review progress together.
Lisa also incorporates coaching elements when people want focused help with career or life transitions. She brings particular experience around caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, family of origin issues, midlife questions, fertility and commitment concerns, and feelings of isolation. Her approach aims to help people move from stuck patterns toward more purposeful and manageable day-to-day living.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing concrete skills to change behaviors and reduce anxiety or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice, name, and work with strong emotions so those feelings become easier to manage and understand.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying a CBT skill in one session, then using ACT ideas the next, or focusing on emotions when grief or relationship feelings are central.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling busy days or limited travel. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat or text messaging works for brief check-ins, homework review, or people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into daily life.
