Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathic relationship where the client guides the pace and content of work. This approach emphasizes listening, validation, and collaboration, and is helpful for people working through grief, self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based method that helps individuals identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with trauma symptoms by teaching concrete strategies for change.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. It can complement other approaches and supports clients dealing with anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors care to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
