How Lisa works
That means working on clear goals, learning new coping skills, and talking about past attachment concerns when they matter to current stress. Lisa has worked for more than two decades with adults facing a wide range of concerns.
Her experience includes supporting people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness and pain, caregiver stress, communication problems, and body image concerns. Sessions emphasize collaboration and gradual change. Clients can expect a focused, steady process with realistic tools and time to try things out between meetings.
The aim is to help people build helpful habits and feel more in control of everyday life.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy and flexible session formats
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, values-guided steps even when emotions are difficult. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns and can help when past abandonment or attachment issues affect present connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things out, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a fixed formula.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and situations. Video is useful for full conversations and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and messaging let people send notes or check in between sessions. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday life.
