She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and related concerns such as attachment and family problems.

She helps people sort through relationship patterns and family of origin issues.

She also supports people coping with major life changes like divorce, separation, and recovery from domestic violence.
Her practice addresses substance use and addictive behaviors alongside mood and anxiety concerns. Sessions often involve talking through recent difficulties, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practicing clearer ways to communicate and set boundaries. Lisa pays attention to how past losses and attachment wounds still shape present reactions.
Her approach is evidence-based and focused on what works in day-to-day life. She draws on techniques that help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address trauma symptoms while also strengthening relationships. Progress is measured in small, practical changes clients can notice between sessions.

How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can practice between sessions. Cognitive-behavioral methods help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and manage stress. Trauma-informed approaches attend to how past events affect current behavior and include pacing work to process difficult memories without becoming overwhelmed.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust what they do together based on what helps most. That shared decision making guides which methods are emphasized over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Many people choose online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy week, save travel time, and use shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to continue care during life transitions while still focusing on practical skill-building and communication practice.
