About Lisa
Lisa Zwagerman is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Wisconsin. She brings three years of counseling experience that include work as a mental health counselor, career counselor, and life coach. Lisa focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and major life changes.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to be a steady partner in the work, offering empathy and practical steps rather than long lectures. Sessions often center on clear goals and small, doable changes that build over time.
Background and approach
Lisa commonly uses techniques drawn from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral approaches. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when they fit a person's needs. That combination helps people learn new ways to handle thoughts, manage moods, and improve everyday functioning.
She has experience supporting people through grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family stress, parenting concerns, career shifts, and chronic health challenges. Additional areas of focus include adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue.
Sessions are offered in English and can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits both the person and the therapist.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Lisa uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, collaborative relationship. This approach focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience so goals come from the person's priorities. It can help when someone needs support sorting feelings and deciding what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common part of her work. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and helps people try small experiments to change what isn't working. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and managing ADHD-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day routines rather than imposing a single method. That collaboration guides how sessions are planned and which techniques are used.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for longer, deeper work. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and messaging allow quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and varied life demands.
