Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Lisa Fix
Lisa draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on building a respectful, supportive relationship and meeting each person where they are so they can explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for those struggling with intense emotions or relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa will collaborate with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy to each individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility to connect by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and reach people who cannot attend in-person appointments. These options support consistent care, allow for different communication styles, and make it simpler to maintain momentum between sessions with licensed professionals and therapists guiding the process.
