How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most to them and take small, value-driven steps. ACT often focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that move someone toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which involves listening closely and reflecting back what a person says. That approach aims to help someone feel heard and understood, and to build their own insight and confidence. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach brief exercises that reduce rumination and bring attention to the present moment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and adapt methods over time. This is a collaborative process that looks at what helps you feel steadier and more able to cope.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who need flexible timing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments.
