How practical approaches meet online therapy
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where a person's concerns and values guide the pace and focus of sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Lisa collaborates with each person to identify goals, trials different techniques, and adjusts the plan based on what feels most useful and practical for the individual circumstances.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care accessible from home or work and to fit varied schedules. These formats allow for flexible appointment times, follow-up messaging between sessions, and different ways to engage with tools and exercises, supporting consistent progress even when life is busy.
