How Lisa works
Conversations are tailored to each person and avoid stigmatizing labels. Lisa listens first, then helps set clear goals and simple steps to try between sessions. Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior tools.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit a person’s needs. Treatment plans are adjusted over time to match progress and changing priorities. Over two decades in varied clinical settings gave her experience with many concerns, including infidelity and jealousy.
She has supported people coping with life changes and with the effects of emotional or physical trauma. This background informs a flexible, problem-solving orientation in therapy. Lisa works with individuals to build skills, restore relationships, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.
She emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies so clients can try different ways of coping and notice what helps. If a parent seeks guidance, she offers focused support for parenting stress and child behavior concerns in her sessions.

How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective. It involves reflective listening, empathy, and joint decision-making to help someone feel heard and to guide next steps. This approach is useful for work on relationships, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. Sessions include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem patterns in relationships.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. It helps people manage strong emotions and reduce reactive behaviors, which can be useful for anger, relationship conflict, and impulsive habits.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about your goals, try methods that fit your needs, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients are involved in deciding which techniques to use and how fast to change course.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option and work well for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use therapy without scheduling a full call. These formats make it easier to practice skills in real settings and keep momentum between appointments.
