About Lisa

Lisa Wyatt is a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 19 years of clinical experience helping people move past confusion, overwhelm, and persistent emotional pain.

Background and approach

She focuses on building practical skills and clearer perspective so clients can feel more confident managing stressors in relationships, family life, work, and personal wellbeing. Lisa often works with people coping with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related or parenting concerns.

Her style blends client-centered listening with evidence-informed techniques, including cognitive behavioral tools that examine how thoughts shape feelings and actions, attachment-informed work that explores relational patterns, and mindfulness practices to increase present-moment awareness. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative approaches when they fit a person’s goals.

Throughout, she emphasizes a strengths-based, individualized process that honors each person’s values and pace. Lisa frames therapy as collaborative problem solving: she offers a clear, neutral viewpoint and helps create realistic, sustainable strategies tailored to daily life.

She accepts clients in English and practices in California as LMFT CA 51873, bringing nearly two decades of experience to guide change and build resilience.

Using Practical Approaches in Online Therapy

Lisa integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-based perspectives to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and developing concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed over time to help people understand how early dynamics influence current relationships and emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Lisa treats that as a collaborative discovery. She listens to each person’s goals and preferences, tests techniques that fit daily life, and adjusts methods so the work feels relevant and manageable. Clients participate in shaping the plan and deciding which strategies to keep or modify.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different modalities for different needs, and access consistent support from a licensed professional without changing locations.
