About Lisa
Lisa Franco is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LIMFT) based in Ohio. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Lisa keeps language simple and practical so parents and busy adults can follow along easily.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address day-to-day struggles and bigger life changes. Sessions center on clear goals, steady problem solving, and building coping skills that fit into real life.
How Lisa works
Lisa aims to help clients reconnect with what matters and move toward practical change. Her experience includes four years working with adults who face communication problems, control issues, and the emotional fallout from separation and divorce. She also supports people dealing with body image, money worries, midlife questions, and guilt or shame.
The work often looks at mood disorders, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress in straightforward terms. In sessions she prioritizes active listening, direct feedback, and concrete tools people can use between meetings. Therapy is collaborative - clients set goals and pace.
Lisa helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of handling conflict, and rebuild self-regard. Therapy is offered in several online formats to fit different schedules and needs. People who want to begin can complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment that fits their timing.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach emphasizes skill building to manage anxiety and panic attacks by teaching breathing, grounding, and step-by-step exposure strategies. These tools help reduce overwhelming reactions and make daily life easier.Another approach targets mood disorders and trauma by helping people process difficult memories and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Work in this area often includes learning ways to challenge negative thoughts, rehearse healthier responses, and practice self-compassion to improve mood and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and what feels workable. Together they decide which techniques match the client’s needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video is useful for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, brief coaching, or times when writing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life.
