About Lisa

Lisa Gercie is an LPC based in Pennsylvania who brings 26 years of clinical experience to work with clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She combines practical coaching with therapeutic support to help people navigate coping with life changes, improve communication, build self-love, and address social anxiety or phobia. Her practice also includes focus on forgiveness, life purpose, midlife concerns, and women's issues.

Lisa uses a blend of evidence-informed and experiential methods to shape individualized care. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and hypnotherapy to create tailored treatment plans.

Her approach emphasizes the mind-body-spirit connection and attends to health, nutrition, and overall well-being as part of recovery and growth. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping clients set practical goals and develop skills for lasting change.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Lisa frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding; this approach is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship where the client's goals and perspectives guide the work. Additionally, hypnotherapy may be used as a tool for focused relaxation and for supporting behavior change when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works together with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative exploration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit appointments into busy schedules and to access support from different locations. These formats allow for consistent follow-up, flexible scheduling, and a variety of ways to communicate so clients can engage in the method that suits them best.
