About Lisa
Lisa Barnes is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people facing trauma and abuse, eating struggles, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. She meets people where they are and offers steady support for hard moments. Her tone is respectful and warm, and she encourages small steps forward.
Her sessions are tailored to each person's needs. She listens first, then helps set practical goals. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes are possible.
How Lisa works
Lisa works to make therapy feel manageable and useful on a day-to-day level. Lisa has worked with concerns such as abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, control issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also addresses guilt, shame, isolation, money stress, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety.
That range helps when problems overlap or feed each other. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to create an atmosphere where people can speak honestly and begin to practice different ways of coping.
Treatment plans are shaped around each person's life and priorities. Taking the first step can feel daunting, and Lisa acknowledges that courage. She supports people through starting therapy, setting goals, and tracking progress over time.

Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and healing. One approach centers on processing traumatic experiences in a paced, supported way so memories feel less overwhelming and daily functioning improves. Another emphasizes building self-esteem and coping skills through small, concrete steps that help with confidence, self-love, and social anxiety.Choosing the right method is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your goals, try a few approaches, and adjust based on how useful they feel. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques fit best and when to shift focus.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text allow shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and easier scheduling during busy days. These options make it easier to fit care into a real-life routine while working on trauma, eating concerns, parenting stress, and confidence.
