About Lisa
She uses conversational, client-centered work to learn what matters most to each person. From there she brings tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Sessions often focus on skills for managing strong emotions, changing unhelpful thoughts, and rebuilding routines.
Lisa also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative therapy with people facing big life changes. These methods help with decisions about substance use, career shifts, and relationship challenges. The work can include examining stories that get in the way of feeling capable or hopeful.
She has experience helping people cope with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and the fallout from trauma or abuse. Additional areas she supports include abandonment issues, codependency, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence or divorce.
Therapy with Lisa is practical and collaborative. She will tailor conversation and goals to the individual's needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step starts the process.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says matters most. Online sessions can use that same conversational approach to set goals and track progress. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT online often uses between-session practice and brief skill teaching during meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills useful for intense emotions and impulsivity.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate to decide which methods fit a person's goals and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some people prefer not to be on camera for short check-ins or choose formats that use less bandwidth; confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to keep therapy consistent during life transitions.
