About Lisa

Lisa Simpson is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people navigate depression, anxiety, and the long-term effects of trauma. With 12 years of clinical experience, she focuses on practical strategies that reduce symptoms and restore daily functioning while honoring each person’s unique story.

Background and approach

Her work emphasizes rebuilding trust, improving sleep and concentration, and reconnecting with interests that have faded. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered and psychodynamic influences, she blends skills-based interventions with attentive listening to meet individuals where they are.

Lisa also brings attention to family dynamics, grief, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, and relationship difficulties, and she incorporates themes related to adoption, blended families, aging, and other life transitions into treatment planning. Based in Indiana and licensed as an LMHC, she offers flexible options for people both locally and internationally who seek steady, experienced support for change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Lisa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in online work; CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression, while client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaborating around the client’s priorities to build trust and self-directed growth.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore recurring patterns and early influences that affect current relationships and emotional life, which can help when clients want to understand long-standing concerns rather than only manage symptoms. Together these approaches offer both concrete tools and space for reflection depending on the issue at hand.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process, and she approaches that decision collaboratively, matching interventions to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Clients are invited to discuss what feels most useful and to adjust the approach over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance accessibility and scheduling flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity during life transitions, and to connect with an experienced Indiana-based LMHC from other locations, including international settings.
