About Lisa
Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people through common life stresses. She works with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at making small, useful changes that add up over time.
She brings 22 years of experience to sessions and keeps the work practical. Lisa helps clients name and sort thoughts and feelings, and then picks simple strategies to try between meetings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused so people leave with clear steps they can use right away. Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment tools, and attachment-focused ways of looking at relationships. Lisa adapts techniques to fit each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
People often come for help with the stress of daily life, lingering low mood, trouble concentrating, or difficulty connecting with others. She also addresses related concerns such as caregiver stress, body image, chronic health challenges, and communication problems. The aim is practical relief and steady progress toward what matters most to each person.
Sessions can be scheduled to fit different routines, and Lisa works with clients to set realistic goals. She encourages curiosity, patience, and steady effort as ways to build a more satisfying life.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is practical and helps with anxiety, low mood, and focus problems by breaking big issues into small steps.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and accept difficult feelings while moving toward those values. ACT can be useful for stress, chronic worry, and challenges that keep people stuck. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how relationships and early patterns affect current connections and communication.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lisa works with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan and adjust it as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy into their routines. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for different lifestyles and schedules.
