About Lisa
Lisa Guerra is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, trauma, ADHD, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried and unsure what comes next. Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed tools with focused conversations.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors and how those shape day-to-day life.
How Lisa works
She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship concerns and add structure to conversations about communication and trust. Sessions are goal-oriented while still allowing space to process hard feelings. Lisa likes to help people break big problems into small, doable steps.
That can be learning new ways to cope with stress, rebuilding routine after a loss, or practicing different ways to talk with a partner or co-parent. Her background includes seven years of counseling experience and earlier work as a paramedic, which informs her understanding of first responder issues and crisis risk factors.
She combines that perspective with talk-based therapy rather than medical or diagnostic testing. People meet her for short-term skills work or longer conversations about life direction and healing. Sessions focus on clear next steps, exercises to try between meetings, and checking what does and doesn’t help as therapy progresses.

How Lisa’s approaches adapt to online therapy
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions in daily life; this approach works well for anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD-related struggles. The Gottman Method is used to guide structured conversations about communication, conflict, and rebuilding trust in relationships, offering specific skills couples or partners can practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will discuss goals, needs, and preferences and recommend a blend of methods that fits each person’s situation. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or goals shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. Video is useful for deeper conversations and demonstrations of skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are handy for quick reflections, updates, and steady contact between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or other commitments.
