About Lisa
Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker with 16 years of clinical experience. She holds a Master of Social Work and practices as an LCSW and LMSW in Michigan. Lisa draws on her background working with the body and the mind to help people find steadier ground.
She spends much of her time helping people recover from trauma and addictions and address personality-related concerns. Lisa focuses on symptoms that keep people stuck in survival mode so they can move toward a more fulfilling life.
How Lisa works
Her work also covers anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Lisa uses practical approaches to teach skills and build resilience. She works in a warm, flexible style and brings humor when it helps lighten difficult moments.
Sessions are paced to match where a person is right now rather than pushing a fixed agenda. Her practice blends client-centered care with techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical behavior strategies, existential ideas, and EMDR-style trauma work. That combination helps with symptom relief, coping skills, and making meaning after hard experiences.
People who come to Lisa often want clear tools and steady encouragement as they change. She aims to meet each person where they are, offer doable steps, and support progress toward the life they want.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room and on building a trusting relationship. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at a comfortable pace to help people feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and unhelpful reactions. It is practical and goal-oriented, often using homework to practice new skills between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills. It can be helpful for strong mood swings, intense emotions, and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit the person's goals and situation. Sessions often mix approaches so tools can be matched to specific problems and adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers a range of ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video is not needed, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These formats provide flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings, lower bandwidth needs, or brief check-ins during a busy day. Licensed professionals can use these options to maintain continuity of care and adapt to how a person prefers to engage.
