Lisa Maulding Anthony, LMHC

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stuck by listening, asking practical questions, and guiding them toward clearer choices. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, including issues like attachment or feelings of emptiness.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with a focus on things people can try between visits. She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and make different choices.

Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered methods shape how she builds relationships in the room. That means attention to how past relationships affect current feelings and a respectful, nonjudgmental stance toward each person's experience. Clinical hypnotherapy is also part of her toolkit and is used as one option when appropriate.

People will find practical tools here - coping strategies for stress, steps to manage anxiety, and ways to rebuild self-worth after loss or trauma. The work aims to reduce overwhelming moments and support steady progress over time. Sessions are tailored to the individual’s needs and pace.

Her practice is based in Florida and she conducts therapy in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people to the right schedule and next steps.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and feeling stuck by building small, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and connection with others, which can be useful for issues like abandonment, codependency, and trust concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift as progress is made and new priorities emerge.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Licensed professionals can use these methods effectively in remote settings, and the focus remains on practical skills, emotional processing, and steady progress.
