About Lisa
Lisa Simpson works with teens and adults who are feeling overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or the effects of past trauma. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage daily life. Her approach is straightforward and geared toward making change feel possible again.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship where clients set the goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that change how a person feels.
How Lisa works
Jungian and psychodynamic ideas are brought in to look at deeper patterns and personal meaning when that fits the client’s needs. With 12 years of experience as a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Indiana, she blends practical techniques with attention to personal history. Sessions typically address sleep and appetite changes, concentration problems, loss of interest, and difficulty trusting others.
Lisa guides people as they work through grief, relationship conflict, life transitions, and issues tied to family of origin. She also helps clients dealing with addiction concerns, parenting strain, blended family challenges, adoption and foster care questions, and aging-related adjustments. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs help finding real reasons to change and keeping momentum.
Therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. International clients who speak English are supported. The overall aim is to restore routines, improve relationships, and help people reclaim enjoyment in life.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can set their own goals and pace. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to talk through feelings and decide what matters most to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people challenge unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and lift mood. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels stuck about making a change by clarifying values and boosting motivation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She uses client feedback to adjust techniques so the plan fits the person rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, skills practice, or ongoing support between sessions.
