Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that make problems worse and to practice new behaviors that feel more helpful. CBT works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and letting the person guide the pace and topics of work. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, nonjudgmental space to sort through feelings and decisions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts strategies as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or a good fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging make it possible to send updates and get support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
