Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when unwanted thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, mood swings, and for people wanting clearer direction in life.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what the client brings. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they work through family, relationship, or identity concerns.

Lisa incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical strategies. CBT is often used for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, mood symptoms, and behavior change work.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that suit those goals, and adjust plans based on what proves helpful. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and effective.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into school, work, or family schedules and to keep momentum between appointments.
