About Lisa
Lisa prefers a straightforward style in sessions. She helps people find their own answers while offering practical ways to move forward. Conversations focus on clearer communication, reducing blame, and building skills that fit each person’s situation.
Work often begins by mapping the immediate problem and the goals the person brings. Lisa draws on tools from cognitive behavior approaches and Gestalt techniques to help people notice patterns and try new behaviors. She adapts methods to the problem at hand rather than using a single formula.
She has particular experience with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting and blended family challenges, grief and loss, mood concerns including bipolar and depression, and struggles with eating and body image. Lisa also supports people facing addiction, trauma, and feelings of isolation or emptiness.
Sessions include coaching elements when helpful, aimed at practical steps for change. The therapist emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while keeping work focused and goal-oriented. To begin, prospective clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first appointment.

How her approaches guide online therapy
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavior approaches and Gestalt techniques to help people recognize unhelpful patterns and try different actions. Cognitive behavior approaches focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small changes to alter mood and interactions. Gestalt techniques encourage noticing immediate experience and how a person communicates in the moment, which can sharpen understanding in relationship work.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review your goals and try methods that fit your preferences and situation. Together you decide what feels most useful and adjust as you learn what works.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy can be scheduled around work or family commitments. It can also allow for a mix of coaching and therapeutic exercises that translate well to remote sessions. Licensed professionals can help you find the session rhythm that fits your life.
