About Lisset

She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, career stress, anxiety, and life changes.

She listens first and tailors conversations to each person's situation. Sessions aim to clarify pressing problems, identify realistic steps, and build skills that fit everyday life.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas are used when relationship connection and attachment are central concerns. Solution-focused techniques help set short-term goals and find immediate ways forward.
Parents and caregivers often come for help with blended family issues, fatherhood concerns, fertility stress, or balancing caregiving roles. Others seek support for commitment fears, communication breakdowns, control struggles, or recovering from separation and divorce. Her practice also addresses anxiety, depression, emptiness, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
She brings steady, practical coaching when people need motivation, clearer boundaries, or help rebuilding confidence. Lisset invites people to take a small first step toward change. She offers a calm, problem-solving approach that meets urgent worries and longer-term personal growth goals.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps when relationship connection and attachment are at the heart of the struggle; it guides people to notice emotions and shift how they respond to one another.Choosing the right method is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they try approaches and adjust the plan so it fits the person's pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text-based messaging supports ongoing, in-the-moment reflection. These options make it easier to keep progress going while balancing work, family, and other demands.
