About Lisa
She has worked in therapy for 19 years and has supported people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, blended family problems, and concerns tied to attachment and abandonment. Her background includes helping people with communication problems, codependency, and the emotional impact of chronic illness or pain.
Lisa uses a client-centered style that lets each person set the pace and priorities for sessions. She builds on existing strengths and adds tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to shift unhelpful thoughts and reactions. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and closeness, and motivational interviewing can help when making tough changes feels hard.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on what is realistic for a person's life and what can be tried between meetings. Lisa aims to offer a calm, nonjudgmental space and to help people discover workable solutions that fit their values and daily routines.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how people connect and stay close to others. Online sessions can help identify familiar relationship patterns and offer ways to try new responses in everyday interactions. Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters to the person in the room; the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities so conversation feels relevant and useful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers concrete tools to change thought and behavior cycles, such as mood-monitoring, practice exercises, and short experiments that clients can try between sessions.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and lifestyle. Together they track what helps and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and focused on real-life change.
Session formats are not listed in this biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness practices, and homework between meetings so progress continues between sessions.
