About Lisa
Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and stress, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. Lisa supports teens and adults through common and complex struggles related to mood, behavior, and identity.
She has worked in intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) as well as private practice. That background means she has seen structured treatment settings and longer-term outpatient care. In sessions she takes a straightforward, collaborative approach and favors real conversation over a lecture-style interaction.
Lisa uses a mix of practical methods including cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior approaches, somatic techniques, and client-centered work. She also draws on exposure principles when someone is dealing with obsessive thoughts, phobias, or eating-related avoidance. Sessions often focus on small, manageable steps rather than big, sudden changes.
She pays particular attention to multicultural concerns and the pressures that can come with identity and family expectations. Lisa mentions experience supporting first-generation and BIPOC young adults navigating these issues, and she brings that context into treatment planning when relevant.
Starting is described as a practical process: a short matching questionnaire followed by scheduling a first session. Lisa accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used in remote sessions
Lisa commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical behavioral experiments, which can help with anxiety, phobias, and eating-related avoidance. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can help when strong emotions or self-criticism get in the way.She also uses client-centered principles that keep the conversation grounded in the person's own goals and values. Deciding which approach fits best is part of the early sessions. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to the client’s needs, preferences, and goals rather than imposing a single plan.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the available options are shown during intake. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work or school breaks, reduce travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, exposure steps, and DBT skills to remote appointments so work continues between sessions without requiring a clinic visit.
