Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Lisa commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in her work. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental stance and helps clients explore their values and make choices that fit their lives, which is useful for identity work and self-esteem building. CBT is a skill-focused approach that identifies patterns of thought and behavior contributing to anxiety, depression, or unhelpful coping, offering practical tools to change those patterns. EFT focuses on emotions and relationship interactions, helping people and couples understand attachment needs and improve emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Lisa collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the challenges they bring. She adapts techniques over time to reflect progress and changing needs, working alongside clients to refine what helps best.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or those living outside local service areas. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from familiar settings, and use the formats that feel most comfortable for each individual.
