About Lisa Wyatt
Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 19 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, grief, career pressures, and compassion fatigue. Her background includes supporting parents, survivors of trauma, individuals coping with addiction in themselves or loved ones, and professionals encountering burnout.
She approaches therapy from a person-centered perspective, which means the client’s priorities and pace guide the work. That foundation is complemented by strength-based techniques that identify and build on existing resources, cognitive-behavioral strategies that examine how thoughts influence behavior, and Gestalt methods that invite new perspectives on persistent problems. Lisa adapts her methods to the unique needs of each person rather than relying on a single formula.
Her aim is to help people move from feeling stuck or overwhelmed to feeling more confident in handling difficult situations at home, at work, and in relationships. She offers a neutral, experienced viewpoint while collaborating with clients to find realistic, individualized solutions. Reaching out for help is an important step, and Lisa values partnering with people who want practical change and greater emotional resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Lisa Wyatt draws from client-centered therapy, attachment-based therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy to tailor care to each person. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the client’s perspective and encourages self-directed growth by creating space for the individual to set goals and pace. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns of connection and trust formed in relationships and can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, intimacy, or relationship struggles. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Lisa works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as progress and challenges evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins or ongoing work can occur via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from licensed professionals without requiring travel.
