About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Cooney is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and grief, and also lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Lisa aims to help individuals who find social situations, being watched, speaking up, or meeting new people hard.
Her sessions emphasize clear, practical conversation. She listens for what matters most and helps clients name specific patterns that get in the way. Work can include looking at relationships, communication habits, and how past experiences shape current reactions.
Lisa uses several therapeutic approaches to fit different needs. Client-centered work focuses on the person’s perspective and pacing. Psychodynamic ideas look at how early relationships influence present behavior. EMDR is listed as one of the methods she may use for processing trauma-related memories.
She also draws on existential questions about meaning and choice, and on solution-focused strategies for short-term problem solving. Hypnotherapy appears among her approaches and may be offered where appropriate. These methods are used to help people manage symptoms and build clearer options for everyday situations.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and are billed through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Cooney lists client-centered therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and EMDR among her approaches. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and following their pace, which can work well through conversation-based online sessions. Psychodynamic work examines how past relationships shape current reactions and can be done through regular remote sessions that track patterns over time. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and is described by clinicians as a method used for trauma-related symptoms; therapists adapt its protocols for remote sessions when appropriate.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will discuss options with each person and make choices together based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps decide which method to use and how to structure sessions going forward.
