About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Hammons helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and depression. She also supports those coping with life changes and concerns around motivation and confidence.
Lisa is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Mississippi with 14 years of experience. Her sessions focus on listening first. She aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters.
Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client's comfort.
How Lisa works
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical next steps. She works with clients to identify patterns that keep problems going and then practices new ways of responding. That can include short exercises, communication practice, or small behavior changes between sessions.
Beyond core concerns, Lisa has experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, body image, and eating-related problems. She also supports people facing family problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence aftermath, and the emotional impact of disasters. Clients can expect clear goals and gentle accountability.
Sessions are collaborative - Lisa asks what is working and adjusts the plan as needed. The aim is steady progress toward feeling more capable and connected in daily life.

How evidence-based approaches work online
Many clients benefit from practical, skills-focused methods. One common approach is problem-focused work that identifies unhelpful patterns and tests new responses in daily life. This helps with worry, low mood, and relationship patterns by breaking big problems into smaller steps that can be practiced between sessions.Another helpful approach is behavioral activation, which emphasizes small, manageable activities to improve mood and energy. This method is useful for depression and low motivation because it focuses on doing more of what gives a person a sense of purpose and pleasure.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what feels most helpful. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so methods are tailored to their needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging supports brief reflections or between-session notes. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines while keeping continuity of care.
