About Lisa

Lisa Williams is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 12 years of clinical experience who applies evidence-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and depression.

Background and approach

She emphasizes a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate approach, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit each person's distinct circumstances and priorities. Her work integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and dialectical strategies to address a broad range of concerns such as relationship conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, self-esteem issues, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas of focus include caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, substance-related problems, and coping after loss or major life changes. Located in Texas, she offers flexible formats to connect with clients and supports people through the process of change with patience and practical tools.

Prospective clients are encouraged to take the initial step toward clearer goals and improved coping, knowing treatment will be individualized to their needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

The practice draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT sessions tend to focus on clear, goal-oriented strategies and homework that translate directly into daily life.

Client-centered therapy is also used, emphasizing a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the client's perspective guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people explore values, build self-understanding, and feel heard while making changes. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills may be incorporated to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or impulsivity are present.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative; the therapist will work with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is most helpful for the client.

Online therapy in this practice is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and practice skills between meetings.
