How her approaches shape online therapy

Lisa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal priorities. She also employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors that lead to different results.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Sessions mix practical exercises, reflective conversation, and goal-setting so the plan can be adjusted as progress is made.

Please confirm the specific online session options before booking so you know what formats are available for scheduling. Many people appreciate that online sessions can fit into busy lives, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Others find shorter check-ins useful during a workday or choose longer sessions for deeper work. The therapist will help match session length and pacing to what works best for each person.
