Background and approach
Lisa keeps language simple and avoids jargon so clients can use what they learn right away. Her work covers a wide range of concerns. Common areas include mood challenges such as depression and bipolar-related issues, struggles with substance use, trauma and grief, body image and eating difficulties, and parenting or blended family strain.
She also addresses attention and behavioral concerns like ADHD and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder when relevant. Lisa draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral tools, client-centered conversations, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies. She adapts these methods to the person in front of her, combining them into a clear plan with next steps.
Outside of clinical work she lives in central Florida with her fiance, a teenage daughter, a puppy, and six cats. She enjoys video games, movies especially Marvel, and visiting nearby theme parks. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and focused on helping people find manageable ways to feel better.
Approach and Online Options for Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens carefully and helps the person find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for building self-esteem and working through relationship issues.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and make adjustments as progress happens, keeping the plan focused and collaborative.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports more frequent brief check-ins and ongoing coaching-style contact between sessions. These options offer flexibility for school, work, or family routines and make it easier to keep consistent care.
