Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Rich uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the person’s own goals and values guide the work. This approach focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and understanding each person on their own terms, which is helpful for a wide range of concerns including relationship, self-esteem, and adjustment issues.

She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems because it emphasizes practical skills and structured techniques.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is another tool in her practice, offering skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be particularly useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, impulsivity, or ongoing interpersonal difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts treatment over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for scheduling and day-to-day life. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home, manage care around work or family obligations, and maintain continuity of support when circumstances change.
