About Lisa
Lisa Thorpe is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely, aiming to make sessions feel manageable and focused on what matters most to each person. She brings about 10 years of experience working in clinical settings across New Jersey.
Her practice centers on meeting people where they are. Lisa uses a person-centered stance and takes a trauma-informed approach to understand how past hurts affect current choices and feelings.
Background and approach
In sessions she focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life. That might mean working on coping skills for tight moments, pacing recovery from substance use, or rebuilding a sense of self-worth after loss or isolation. She pays attention to impulsivity, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with forgiveness as part of a broader plan.
Lisa explains ideas in simple terms and helps clients try things between meetings. Progress is treated as gradual, with room for setbacks and adjustments. Her goal is to help people feel more in control and more connected to themselves.
She offers therapy in English and makes herself available to international clients. Session format choices and scheduling are handled during the sign-up and matching process so people can find an arrangement that fits their life.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Lisa uses person-centered methods that prioritize listening and understanding each person’s experience. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that match their values and daily life. It is useful for stress, low self-worth, and adjusting after big life changes.She also works from a trauma-informed perspective, which means she pays attention to how past hurts affect current emotions and behavior. That focus guides pacing and safety in sessions and helps when dealing with symptoms tied to past events, impulsivity, or intense mood swings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they try methods, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation, while phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice between sessions, or when a camera session feels like too much. These options give flexibility to fit appointments around work, school, and family life and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
