About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She offers a direct, warm style that aims for real conversation rather than a clinical script. Lisa focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, eating concerns, and low self-esteem.
She blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Sessions often include clear steps to interrupt old patterns, skill practice, and grounding techniques that connect the mind and body.
How Lisa works
Lisa uses somatic approaches when helpful to address how stress and past experiences show up physically. Her background includes work in intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs as well as independent practice. That mix means she is familiar with both structured, skills-focused settings and longer-term therapy work.
She draws from those settings to make sessions feel useful from the start. Lisa pays attention to cultural background and identity in therapy. She supports people navigating multicultural concerns, body image and eating and food-related issues, and the particular pressures young adults may face.
She can help with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, phobias, trichotillomania, and issues specific to women. Her approach is collaborative; she and the person in therapy set goals together and adjust methods as needed. Lisa aims to challenge patterns while keeping space for empathy and small moments of relief.
For many clients the work is both practical and human, focused on improvements that matter in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's perspective, listening first and helping people set goals that matter to them. It creates space for honest conversation and helps guide what techniques will be most useful. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to change them. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, compulsions, and eating-related behaviors because it breaks down problems into steps and practices. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and staying stable during stressful moments. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit the person, and adjust over time when something is or isn't working. Clients and therapist decide together what to prioritize and which techniques to use. Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - make therapy more flexible. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face interaction and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can work for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for short updates, skill coaching between appointments, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options let people fit therapy into work, school, or busy family life and keep consistent progress.Start online instead of waiting
