About Lisa

Lisa Gray is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 18 years of experience. She introduces herself plainly and focuses on helping people regain a sense of meaning and hope after painful life events. Her steady presence aims to make hard conversations easier to begin.

Clients often come for help after trauma, grief, or loss. Lisa also supports people struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, sleep problems, and distress around intimacy. She works with life transitions, career strain, and the emotional toll of caregiving and chronic illness.

Her approach mixes practical thinking and depth work. Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to build new coping habits. She draws on narrative and Jungian ideas to help people reframe stories about themselves and find strengths in their life story.

Sessions are conversational and goal-directed. Lisa helps set clear steps you can try between meetings, and she pays attention to how past hurts affect present choices. She aims to restore a sense of value and possibility rather than only focusing on symptoms.

People who tend to benefit are those ready to examine painful experiences and try new ways of coping. Lisa works with teens through older adults and with a wide range of concerns from abandonment and attachment issues to ADHD and compassion fatigue. She welcomes conversations about what an initial plan could look like.

Approaches that shape online work

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought and try practical behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression. CBT is useful for sleep problems, panic, and unhelpful routines that keep stress high.

She also draws on Jungian ideas and Narrative Therapy to look at personal stories and symbols that shape identity. These approaches help when people feel stuck by past hurts, abandonment, or repeated relationship patterns and want to reclaim meaning in midlife or after loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they will choose methods that feel workable. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while juggling work, caregiving, or treatment for chronic health issues.
