Cognitive Behavior Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Gestalt techniques emphasize present-moment awareness and personal responsibility, helping clients explore patterns in relationships and experience more direct communication. Lisa also specializes in couples and family communication work that replaces blame with clearer understanding and teaches ways to convey meaning more effectively to repair and strengthen relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa takes a collaborative stance in selecting techniques that match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adjust methods over time so care remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, easier access for people with geographic or time constraints, and the chance to maintain continuity of care across life transitions. Licensed professionals can deliver these approaches remotely while supporting clients in building skills and making practical changes in daily life.
