About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a Michigan-based licensed clinical social worker with 32 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem. She also helps people dealing with anger, addiction, and challenges with intimacy or relationships.
Her work is practical and grounded. Lisa listens closely and helps people name what matters to them. She uses straightforward tools to manage strong emotions and reduce unhelpful thinking patterns.
How Lisa works
Sessions often include simple skills practice and honest conversation about values and goals. Over three decades she has supported people facing trauma, grief, and major life changes. She also addresses ADHD-related struggles, obsessive-compulsive patterns, and issues tied to blame, control, or codependency.
Lisa pays attention to how attachment and abandonment concerns affect relationships and day-to-day life. Her approach draws from several therapeutic methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She adapts these methods to fit each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
In sessions she helps people build practical coping skills, clarify what they want, and make small changes that add up. Many people work on communication skills, managing stress, and making decisions about career or parenting challenges. Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process focused on realistic steps forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and includes practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like worry or low mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on understanding and expressing emotions in a clearer way to improve relationship-related concerns and intimacy issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to see which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches and adjust over time as progress is made.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messages suit brief check-ins, homework support, or quick coping strategies. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or other obligations while still getting regular therapeutic support.
