Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. Lisa emphasizes collaboration - she sees the client as the expert on their life and helps them set achievable goals. Her work addresses common struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes.
Lisa also helps people change habits and behaviors that get in the way, including substance use and other addictive patterns. She has experience supporting first responders and the unique stresses they face. In sessions she combines research-based methods with mindfulness and values-focused tools.
You can expect clear strategies to try at home and gentle guidance in building new patterns. Lisa aims for progress that feels real and usable in day-to-day life. Outside the work, she enjoys hiking, reading, painting, and traveling.
Her approachable style is steady and practical, suited to people who want straightforward help with worries, transitions, or recurring patterns.
Approach and online options to fit your life
Lisa frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small committed actions toward those values. CBT helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and practices new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods make the most sense based on goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together, they try strategies and adjust the plan if something doesn’t fit.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins or a way to share thoughts between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
