About Lisa
Her practice focuses on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and bereavement, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns. She has worked with people facing traumatic life events, chronic health conditions, substance use and addiction issues, parenting and pregnancy matters, and complex losses. This broad experience informs a practical and compassionate approach to care.
Lisa emphasizes creating a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate space where individuals can tell their story and explore change. She values the courage it takes to seek a more fulfilling life and frames therapy as a supportive process, helping people develop skills, understanding, and resilience as they navigate difficult moments.
Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate behaviour, and supports commitment to actions that reflect personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating formed in early relationships and how they affect current bonds; it can be helpful for relationship, intimacy, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathetic listening stance in which the therapist offers support and reflection while the person leads the pace and goals of work; this approach suits those seeking greater self-understanding and emotional processing.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Lisa works collaboratively with people to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as work progresses to ensure the approach remains helpful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging all make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or when in-person work is not practical. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to provide consistent, accessible care that supports ongoing progress and connection.
