Background and approach

Over her career she has focused on recovery from trauma and addictions, and on personality-related concerns that keep people stuck. She helps people caught in survival patterns find ways to move toward more stability and enjoyment. Her work also covers anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, sleep and eating issues, and relationship and intimacy-related struggles.

Lisa draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses client-centered methods to build trust and to shape the work around the person in the room. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and DBT-style skills to manage intense emotions and improve coping.

EMDR may be used when trauma memories are a central concern. Her style is flexible and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills, steady encouragement, and helping clients try new behaviors between meetings.

She pays attention to how the body and nervous system respond, and she integrates that awareness into sessions when useful. Lisa works with adults on a wide range of life and mental health concerns. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

To begin, a prospective client completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy, reflection, and support so clients can explore goals at their own pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, practical exercises useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feeling overwhelmed.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to emphasize based on their goals, symptoms, and daily life. That process is flexible and can change as progress is made or needs shift.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is useful when visual connection helps the process, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging are convenient for short check-ins, coaching-style work, or when writing helps a person process thoughts. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and try strategies consistently between meetings.
