About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and depression. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more able to cope.
She uses client-centered work to make space for each person's story. That means conversations start where the person is and move at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits of thought and action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are also part of her toolbox when intense emotions or impulsivity get in the way of daily life. Motivational Interviewing is used to strengthen a person's own reasons for change, especially around substance use or major life shifts.
Narrative Therapy can help people reframe painful events and regain personal agency. Lisa tailors sessions to concrete goals, such as reducing panic attacks, cutting back on substance use, improving sleep, or handling a difficult change. She emphasizes practical steps people can use between sessions.
Progress often comes from small, consistent shifts rather than sudden fixes. Sessions are offered online in Texas using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Conversations focus on what the person wants to change and on realistic next steps.
Lisa aims to provide steady support while people work toward calmer days and clearer decisions.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead so conversations start where they feel comfortable. This approach helps people clarify what matters to them and build goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful behavior. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and recommend approaches that fit. Sessions can blend methods so people get skills, motivation, and a listening space that match their situation.
Online therapy uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging let someone check in between sessions or keep a written record of strategies. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and steady progress over time.
