Online support options
How Lisa’s Approaches Fit Online Work
Lisa often integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioral tools in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior experiments to change how someone feels.She also uses client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story and motivational interviewing to help clarify goals and strengthen readiness for change. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist and client decide together which approaches match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences as therapy moves forward.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and reach licensed professionals from different locations.
