About Lisa
Lisa Patton uses a client-centered approach to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk through what feels hard. She combines that with practical Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Lisa is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with seven years of experience in Alabama.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety and works with depression and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.
How Lisa works
Lisa also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, and sleep struggles. She pays attention to how relationships and communication affect everyday life. Parenting worries and the strain of caregiving come up often in her work, and she helps parents sort priorities and find new routines.
She also addresses compassion fatigue and burnout for people in caring roles. Adoption and foster care issues are among her additional focus areas. Practical problems like control issues, obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and social anxiety are addressed directly with hands-on strategies.
Lisa supports people facing divorce, infidelity, guilt, shame, or isolation and helps them rebuild self-esteem and self-love after loss or assault. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. Lisa listens first, then works with each person to set clear, manageable goals and steps.
This approach keeps the work focused and useful for daily life.

How client-centered care and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and following the person's lead to understand what matters most. It helps people feel heard, build trust, and name goals before choosing specific strategies.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, obsessive thoughts, and sleep difficulties because it gives clear exercises to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will work together with each person to weigh goals, preferences, and daily demands and then blend listening and skill-building into a plan that fits. That collaborative decision-making makes treatment feel relevant to real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when it helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing support between sessions and can fit a busy schedule without travel. These options make it easier to match therapy to everyday routines and responsibilities.
