Background and approach
She also supports people coping with trauma, parenting challenges, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Lisa uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and act toward those values.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are used to track patterns and try small experiments that change how someone feels. Client-centered work keeps the focus on the person’s priorities and strengths. Sessions tend to emphasize practical tools and steady progress.
Lisa aims to keep work collaborative and respectful, helping clients try ideas between sessions and adjust as needed. The goal is clearer decision making and more confidence facing everyday challenges. She brings eight years of clinical experience and holds LCSW and LICSW credentials.
Lisa is based in Texas and conducts sessions in English. Online formats include video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.
Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. It can reduce avoidance and increase engagement in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and building on a person’s strengths to guide change rather than directing it.Finding the right blend of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they will try techniques, review what helps, and adjust the plan over time.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible in flexible ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused exchanges for skill practice. These options support regular contact and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
