About Lisa
Lisa Peter is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what worries you. Her style is direct but warm, aimed at making small, useful changes you can use every day.
Lisa uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address panic, obsessive thoughts, and social anxiety. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, try new coping skills, and practice steady communication.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on one or two concrete skills to try between meetings. Her background includes four years working with adults in Texas and Nebraska in a variety of settings. Lisa holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner credential.
She draws on real-world experience to make therapy applicable to work, family life, and relationships. In session she focuses on building self-compassion and clearer communication. She supports people through transitions like separation, workplace stress, or questions about identity and boundaries.
Progress is typically paced to the persons needs and goals rather than a fixed agenda. Lisa combines short-term skill-building with deeper work on attachment wounds and trauma when needed. Many clients leave sessions with a clearer plan, better tools for panic or obsessive thoughts, and practices to strengthen self-love and resilience.
How CBT and DBT work online with flexible session options
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against reality. It uses homework and experiments to reduce anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and negative self-talk. This approach helps people change patterns that keep them stuck.DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skillful interpersonal strategies. It is helpful for intense emotions, impulsivity, and communication problems. DBT skills are practical tools to use when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Decisions about which skills to use are made together, and the plan adjusts as progress is made.
Online sessions can be done by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and practice new communication skills. Phone sessions suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can be useful for brief support, skill reminders, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days.
