Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports clearer values and committed action when emotions are intense. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence present patterns.
Hypnotherapy is also part of her toolbox when clients are open to guided imagery and focused relaxation as a way to work on habits, stress, or past pain. Sessions follow a person-centered style, meaning the conversation stays focused on what matters most to the individual. Lisa aims to build practical skills alongside deeper understanding.
Over the years she has helped people facing abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, substance challenges, body image concerns, and problems with control or impulsivity. She also addresses family conflict, communication troubles, guilt and shame, and co-occurring issues. Lisa works by matching methods to goals and pacing change so it feels manageable.
Her practice offers several session formats to fit busy schedules and different needs.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps that matter to them. Online ACT sessions often use values work and simple behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and increase meaningful action. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relationship patterns affect current behavior and emotions; in remote sessions this can look like exploring relationship stories, identifying repeating patterns, and practicing new ways of relating.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Lisa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and tools as progress unfolds so the plan stays relevant and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and guided exercises, while phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging can support quick check-ins, mood tracking, and short skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between appointments.
