Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa Wing

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, depression, and everyday challenges. CBT focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns to produce measurable improvements in mood and functioning.

She also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a trauma-focused approach that helps process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.

Client-centered therapy is woven through her work, emphasizing respect for each person’s perspective and collaborative goal-setting. This approach prioritizes the client’s values and preferences as the foundation for treatment.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lisa partners with each person to explore which methods best fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and varying comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, address concerns in real time, and access licensed professionals from different locations, while allowing therapists to tailor sessions to each client’s preferred mode of communication.
