About Lisa
Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience in California. She approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Lisa focuses on practical conversation and clear steps to help people move forward.
She works in English and French. Lisa helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, family and parenting stress, depression, addiction, trauma and grief, eating and body image struggles, anger and low self-esteem, and career or life-change challenges.
How Lisa works
She also addresses ADHD, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, and issues that arise in blended families or after separation. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She starts by listening to what matters most and then tailors conversations and strategies to fit each person.
She believes people often hold their own answers and helps them find those answers with practical tools. Lisa uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to the situation. That can include thinking-focused strategies and experiential methods to shift behaviors and emotions.
She looks for approaches that feel right and work for the client. In sessions she focuses on improving communication, reducing blame, and building clearer understanding between people. Her aim is to help clients create usable skills for everyday life, whether they are dealing with grief, impulsivity, isolation, or family-of-origin issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Lisa uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing thoughts and on experiential work. Cognitive behavior approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, or problematic patterns. Gestalt-style techniques encourage awareness of feelings and body sensations in the moment, helping people notice patterns and try different responses to improve relationships and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest techniques that feel practical and relevant. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you learn what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let you see facial cues and work on communication skills in real time. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, and flexible support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using evidence-based methods.
