About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with ten years of clinical experience. She takes a collaborative, straightforward approach and aims to make sessions feel like a real conversation. Parents often find her calm manner helps soothe worries while still addressing practical next steps.
She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, eating and self-esteem concerns, including phobias and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Lisa draws on several practical methods to break unhelpful cycles and build day-to-day skills.
Background and approach
Sessions include clear goals and simple homework people can actually use between meetings. Her background includes work in intensive outpatient programs and partial hospitalization as well as independent practice. That mix gives her experience with both steady, long-term work and quicker, intensive interventions.
She has spent a lot of time helping people who feel stuck in repeating behaviors or stuck between family expectations and personal goals. In the therapy room she keeps things warm and direct. She listens for the practical problems under the worry and helps people practice new responses.
Lisa pays close attention to cultural and identity factors that affect stress, body image, and relationships with food. She offers a balance of skills training, behavioral experiments, and moment-to-moment awareness. The aim is to reduce distress and increase confidence so daily life feels more manageable.
People leave sessions with small, doable steps and a clearer sense of progress.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. It helps people feel heard and supports exploration of values and goals in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, phobias, and eating-related habits.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they may try one approach and adjust based on what feels most helpful and practical for daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows face-to-face work and in-session skill practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easy to share short updates, use brief coping tools between sessions, and fit therapy into a busy schedule. These options aim to make continued work on anxiety, eating concerns, phobias, and emotion regulation easier to maintain.
