About Lisa
Lisa draws on a mix of client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas to build small, useful changes. She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian perspectives when it helps to understand longer-term patterns. Motivational Interviewing appears in sessions when people want clearer direction or help making a change.
Clients can expect direct conversation about current problems, along with tools for coping and decision-making. Sessions often include goal-setting, strategy practice, and time to reflect on what’s getting in the way. Lisa emphasizes clear steps that fit into everyday life rather than lengthy theoretical talks.
Her work includes support around relationships, parenting stress, grief, addiction concerns, and struggles with self-esteem or life purpose. She also addresses issues related to adoption and foster care, blended families, aging, and family-of-origin problems.
Lisa has practiced for 12 years and is based in Indiana. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options to match their needs.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client’s perspective and priorities. The therapist follows what matters most to the person and helps them name goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect mood and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches are useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Lisa will discuss what is helping and what is not, then together with the client decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means approaches can shift as needs and goals change over time.
Session options should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It can also let people meet with a licensed professional from a different time zone when that is helpful. Ask about current session formats and scheduling when you start the matching questionnaire.
