About Lisa
Lisa Cruz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood changes, and relationship strain. She is direct and practical in sessions and focuses on building coping skills so clients can move forward. Lisa speaks English and draws on a few therapy styles to tailor sessions to each person.
With three years of professional experience, Lisa has worked in community mental health and with college students.
How Lisa works
She meets people where they are and uses straightforward methods to address symptoms like low mood, anxiety, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, and compassion fatigue. Lisa blends client-centered conversation with structured tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques.
That mix lets her help clients spot unhelpful thoughts, try small behavioral changes, and practice present-moment awareness. Sessions often include concrete steps and short-term goals. People can expect a collaborative tone in sessions.
Lisa prioritizes listening first, then co-creating a plan that fits daily life. She pays attention to feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and isolation while helping people explore purpose and forgiveness. Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Lisa explains options and helps clients choose the format that fits their schedule and needs.

How Lisa Uses Practical Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their experience. It involves listening, reflecting, and helping someone feel heard so they can name what matters and set goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses small experiments and skill practice to change patterns that cause distress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and calm intense emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, daily demands, and comfort level. She often starts with conversation and then adds CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, or solution-focused steps as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a lunch break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, reminders, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities.
