Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Lisa Shifflett draws from client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding the client's perspective and building a compassionate, nonjudgmental relationship to support personal growth. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, values, and self-worth.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on structured strategies and measurable progress.

Motivational interviewing is another tool she employs to enhance a person's own motivation for change, particularly when someone feels ambivalent about taking next steps. This style is collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients find internal reasons to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Lisa partners with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and together they choose or combine methods that fit the individual's situation and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments. These formats allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and adapt how they communicate while focusing on practical progress and emotional support.
