Background and approach
Lisa believes the client is the expert on their experience and works together with them to build a clear roadmap toward their goals. Her style is down-to-earth and sometimes uses gentle humor to ease difficult conversations. Lisa emphasizes compassion, respect, and meeting people where they are.
She aims to create a calm, honest space where hard topics can be named and worked through without judgment. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. There is also experience with bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns.

That mix is used to help people manage symptoms, develop coping skills, and take practical steps toward what matters to them. Lisa has a focus on post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, and life purpose work.

Approaches used online and how they help
Client-centered therapy starts with the person and their priorities. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people name what matters most so sessions follow their goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-informed method that helps people process upsetting memories and reduce their emotional intensity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or communicate when typing feels easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help therapy fit into a busy life.
