How Lisa works
Conversations cover thought patterns, behavior changes, and small experiments to test what helps. Her work also addresses communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation or loneliness. She supports people working on forgiveness, building self-love, and finding a clearer sense of life purpose.
Social anxiety and phobia are also common topics in sessions. Lisa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. She adapts these approaches to the person in front of her and the goals they set together.
Sessions are practical and conversational. Lisa helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try new responses, and shape goals that matter to them. She emphasizes respect and compassion while inviting active work toward change.

How Lisa's Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and persistent mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which can help with depression, anxiety, and anger. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, respectful relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead to build insight and confidence.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so the tools used match what the person needs in real life.
Online therapy with Lisa is offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, managing immediate stressors, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and let people fit therapy into busy routines.
