About Lisa
Lisa Stammerjohann is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with 35 years of experience. She blends practical strategies and a calm, respectful presence to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.

Her work often focuses on self-esteem, career concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. She also helps people struggling with sleep problems, addiction, anger, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to aging and caregiving.
How Lisa works
Lisa pays attention to family of origin patterns, isolation, and midlife questions to uncover what feels stuck. Sessions mix supportive listening with goal-oriented methods. Lisa uses approaches that encourage values-based action and practical skills for day-to-day coping.
She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments to see what changes feel possible. People come for help with forgiveness, guilt and shame, commitment and control issues, and finding purpose after major transitions. Lisa also offers guidance around fertility concerns, hoarding, and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disasters.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. New clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their routines. Lisa works with English-speaking adults by phone, video, chat, or text-based messaging.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their values and take small steps toward a life that matters to them. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that reflect what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and tests practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change repetitive patterns. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses empathic listening to help people feel heard and find their own solutions.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods, and adjust based on what works for the individual. That means sessions may include values work one week, skill practice the next, and reflection in between to see what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions or get support when scheduling is tight. These formats aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
