About Lisa
Lisa Gray is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, and related struggles listed in her profile.
She supports teens through older adults who are coping with loss, trauma, or problems with intimacy and sexual addiction. Lisa also helps people dealing with parenting strain, career stress, sleep problems, ADHD, and chronic illness or pain. She accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thinking and small behavioral experiments to test new ways of responding to stress. She also uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their attention and narrative methods to rewrite painful stories people keep repeating.
Lisa aims to make the work straightforward and goal-oriented. She helps set clear short-term goals, then adjusts what she does based on what is actually helping. Meetings often include discussion, simple skills practice, and planning for real-life situations the person is worried about.
Her background spans many areas connected to trauma, identity, and life changes, including abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and dissociation. People who prefer a practical, talk-and-skill approach may find this fits their needs.
Approaches used online and how they help
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT is useful for social anxiety, panic, sleep problems, and managing daily stress.She also uses mindfulness therapy to help people practice steadying attention and reducing reactivity. Mindfulness can be short exercises to calm breath and refocus when worry rises, or daily habits to lower overall stress.
Narrative therapy is another tool she uses to help people tell different stories about themselves. This approach helps when past events or labels keep shaping current choices and relationships.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and will adjust strategies if something is not helping.
Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone join when they cannot be in the office. These practical benefits aim to help integrate meetings into everyday routines rather than add extra burden.
