Background and approach
Lisa creates a calm space where people can say what they are feeling and thinking without judgment. Conversations focus on practical steps and small, measurable goals rather than abstract ideas. Lisa uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness strategies to build awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused work helps keep sessions goal-oriented and action-based. In sessions she often breaks concerns into manageable parts and practices real skills together.
Parents and caregivers will find clear tools for sleep, eating, and parenting stress. People facing trauma, grief, or attachment wounds get gentle pacing and concrete coping plans. Her practice is based in West Virginia and sessions are offered in English.
Lisa emphasizes collaboration - she helps people set realistic steps and checks progress each week. The approach is practical, respectful, and aimed at steady change.
How these approaches work online
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so people can try small changes and see what helps. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance techniques that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. The plan is adjusted as progress is tracked and as needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different routines. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Chat and messaging let people send updates, use brief coaching between sessions, or check in during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or caregiving schedules while keeping the work goal-focused and skills-based.
