About Lisa

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 25 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, blending cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance-based strategies and hypnotherapy when appropriate. Her practice emphasizes a collaborative, person-centered relationship in which empathy and respect guide the work.

Lisa aims to help clients understand patterns such as attachment or codependency, reduce overwhelming symptoms, and build clearer communication and healthier coping habits. She also addresses related concerns including substance-related difficulties, family conflicts, body image struggles, and feelings of emptiness or shame.

Clients work with Lisa to develop practical skills and new perspectives that support day-to-day functioning and longer-term growth. Her approach balances structured tools from CBT with exploratory, acceptance-oriented practices and attachment-informed insight to support emotional regulation and resilience.

Approach-Based Online Care for Emotional Healing

Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address thoughts, behaviors, and values in a practical way. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences and committing to value-driven actions to increase psychological flexibility.

She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy when exploring relational patterns and their impact on emotions and coping; this approach can help people understand how early relational experiences influence current connections and self-regulation. Taken together, these methods offer both structured tools and relational insight to address symptoms and underlying patterns.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to determine which combination of techniques best fits their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regularly, integrate skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
