About Lisa
She blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods to tailor work to each person's needs. Sessions include clear goal-setting, skills practice, and attention to feelings that get in the way of change. Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused ideas also appear when they help a person regulate strong emotions or reconnect with a partner.
Lisa has a long history working with children, adolescents, adults, and caregivers, including many years in school settings. That background informs how she helps parents manage parenting stress, blended family dynamics, and family-of-origin issues. She also supports people dealing with abandonment themes, attachment concerns, and the ripple effects of divorce or separation.
Practical concerns like career pressure, body image, burnout, and compassion fatigue are part of her caseload. Therapy sessions aim to improve communication, reduce destructive patterns such as codependency, and rebuild self-esteem. She encourages steady, achievable changes rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and life changes where values guide small, steady steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that feed problems like depression and anxiety; it usually includes practical exercises and homework. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own experience, offering empathic listening and reflection to help someone feel heard and make their own choices.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals, needs, and preferences. That conversation often happens in early sessions and can shift as progress or new challenges appear.
Practical benefits of online sessions include easier scheduling around daily life and reduced travel time, which can make consistent work more possible. Phone or video were modes the therapist has used in the past, but prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking. Online work still permits skills practice, emotion regulation exercises, and homework between meetings to support steady change.
