About Lisa
Lisa Williams is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in New Mexico. She holds a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from the University of Colorado at Denver and brings 25 years of experience to her practice.
She focuses on practical help for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her sessions center on understanding each person's situation and goals. She listens first and adapts the approach to what a person needs right now. That might mean learning coping skills, changing unhelpful thought patterns, or finding ways to handle intense emotions.
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. These approaches are applied in simple, concrete ways - practicing new skills, testing helpful ideas, and telling a clearer story about what has happened. Lisa likes to work side by side with people as they try small changes or larger shifts.
She teaches tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and improving relationships. Sessions also address practical habits like sleep and daily routines when those are getting in the way. Her background includes long-term work in clinical settings and independent practice.
She aims to make therapy straightforward, approachable, and focused on what matters most to each person.
Practical therapy methods for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without being driven by them and focus on what matters most. It is useful when values feel unclear or when worry and avoidance limit life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by teaching concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many day-to-day struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and building healthier habits, including techniques for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with a person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and can change as needs evolve, mixing approaches like ACT, CBT, DBT, narrative work, and client-centered support to suit the individual.
Online sessions come in several formats to make therapy fit into life. Video calls let people connect face to face when time or travel are issues. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer flexible, ongoing contact for brief updates, homework, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options aim to make care more accessible and adaptable to different schedules and needs.
