About Lisa
She supports people facing divorce, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, and other challenges that make daily life harder. Lisa also addresses relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and issues related to identity and intimacy. Her work includes practical strategies people can try between sessions.
In sessions she mixes person-centered care with structured techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative conversations, and solution-focused steps are part of her toolkit. She adapts methods to each person rather than following a single formula.
Lisa aims to create a calm, steady space to talk through painful moments and find clearer next steps. She encourages small, doable changes that build toward larger goals. Her style is straightforward, warm, and goal-oriented, with room for your story and pace.
People who reach out for help with life transitions, mood shifts, or relationship struggles will find practical ideas and steady support. If you want a therapist who listens first and helps you try tools that fit your life, she can work with you to map a path forward.
How her approaches fit with online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust so people can speak openly about what matters. It helps when someone needs acceptance, clarity, and a steady listener while facing change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete steps to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress. The Gottman Method looks at relationship interactions and practical skills couples can use to improve communication and resolve conflict.Deciding which approach to use is a team process. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they choose or combine methods and check in over time to make sure the plan is working and adjust it as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as current options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use mindfulness exercises, CBT worksheets, and narrative work between sessions, so progress continues outside the appointment.
