About Lisa

Lisa Taylor is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington who centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods to help people break unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

With ten years of clinical experience across intensive programs and independent practice, she combines practical, evidence-informed techniques with a warm, conversational style that avoids feeling like a lecture. Her work focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, eating and body-image concerns, and self-esteem challenges.

She also addresses related difficulties such as obsessions and compulsions, phobias, trichotillomania, social anxiety, multicultural concerns, women's issues, and young adult transitions. Lisa leans toward collaborative and straightforward sessions that balance challenge and support so clients can develop concrete skills and clearer perspectives.

Clients can expect a therapist who values real conversation, uses behavioral tools when helpful, and maintains an approachable manner. Lisa frames therapy as a process of gradual change, helping individuals move past stuck routines while honoring their personal context and goals.

How evidence-informed methods translate to online therapy

Lisa commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into online sessions, using clear, skills-based exercises to address patterns of anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and compulsive behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, helping clients build practical strategies for day-to-day challenges. DBT offers tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in the moment, adjusting techniques as needs evolve so treatment fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to access support around work, school, or caregiving schedules. These options provide flexibility for people who need different levels of interaction and make it possible to continue consistent care even when life is busy or travel is required.
