About Lisa
Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. She draws on evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person's needs. In addition to these approaches, she often integrates mindfulness exercises, inner child work, and assertive communication skills when those tools serve the client’s goals.
Lisa focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy difficulties, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting and family problems, and issues related to LGBT identity. She also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and life purpose questions. Her work is grounded in practical techniques and compassionate support that aim to help people build coping skills and move toward meaningful change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Lisa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, empathic space where the client’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration to help people feel understood and to build self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is practical and skill-focused, often helping with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotions and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lisa works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. The aim is to combine evidence-based techniques with the client’s strengths to support sustainable change.
Online therapy with Lisa makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow continuity of care across different settings, and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
