About Lisa
Lisa Linger is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She draws on her background in health care to offer straightforward, practical support. Lisa aims to help clients feel more in control of their emotions and find calmer days ahead.
Before becoming a therapist, Lisa worked as a nurse for 15 years in emergency and urgent care settings. That experience shaped her ability to stay calm in crisis and to explain how the brain and body respond to stress in plain language.
How Lisa works
She uses that knowledge to help people make small changes that add up to real relief. Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts, try different responses, and build coping skills that fit their daily life.
For trauma, she focuses on stabilizing reactions and creating a safer sense of control over memories and triggers. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Lisa listens, asks practical questions, and works with each person to set realistic goals.
She also helps people understand how chronic pain, medical conditions, or overlapping mental health concerns can affect mood and behavior. People who are dealing with panic attacks, postpartum mood shifts, dissociation, or the stress of blended family life can find concrete tools and steady guidance.
Lisa combines clinical knowledge with a calm, compassionate style to help people move toward more balance and confidence.

Online support options
Using CBT and Trauma-Focused Care Online
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of responding. CBT sessions online focus on practical exercises, thought records, and behavior changes that can be practiced between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address reactions to past harm. That approach begins with stabilizing symptoms and learning ways to manage intense feelings, then moves at a pace chosen with the client to process trauma-related memories and reduce their day-to-day impact.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then recommend whether CBT, trauma-focused work, or a mix makes the most sense. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping.
Online sessions let people connect from wherever works for them. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports between-session check-ins or brief updates. These formats offer flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the work focused on practical progress.
