Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear steps and real-life strategies rather than jargon. Lisa uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and eye movement methods alongside client-centered work. That means she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, practice different responses, and process difficult memories when helpful.
The tone stays grounded and goal-focused. She has worked with people navigating trauma and post-traumatic stress, relationship or intimacy issues, grief, parenting stress, ADHD, and life transitions. Lisa also supports concerns around self-esteem, anger, and social anxiety and phobia.
Her aim is to tailor a plan that fits each person’s situation and goals. Clients can expect collaborative planning from the first session. Lisa listens for strengths, then builds step-by-step strategies for coping and change.
She frames therapy as a shared effort toward clearer choices and better everyday functioning.
How therapy approaches translate online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding your perspective. In an online session this means the therapist prioritizes your concerns, reflects what she hears, and helps you set goals that matter to you.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving. Online CBT sessions often include short exercises, homework tasks, and check-ins that fit around daily life to reduce stress and manage anxiety or depression.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is used to help process disturbing memories when appropriate. Online EMDR-style work involves guided recall and paced techniques the therapist leads, with careful pacing and follow-up to track how you feel afterward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels comfortable. Together you decide whether to focus on skills training, memory processing, or a mix of methods.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation when you want deeper connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, written thinking, or managing small steps between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and varied needs.
