About Lisa
LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) in California with five years of clinical experience, Lisa Collins helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes.
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as her main approach and adapts sessions to each person's situation. She emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns, testing small changes, and building everyday coping skills.
Clients can expect direct feedback and clear goals. Lisa talks through what currently feels hard and then tries simple experiments to shift thoughts and behaviors. She also works on motivation and confidence when people feel stuck.
Her background includes moving from Ireland to California and practicing locally for five years as an LMFT. That combination shapes a style that is conversational and results-oriented rather than theoretical.
Lisa matches treatment plans to each person's needs and adjusts techniques as progress is made. She describes CBT as a starting point and will vary the approach based on what helps in practice. The emphasis is on doing practical work between sessions to make small, sustainable changes.

How therapeutic approaches are used in remote sessions
Lisa bases most work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In sessions that can mean spotting a troublesome thought, testing it with a small experiment, and tracking whether it changes mood or behavior. The method often helps with anxiety, low mood, and habits tied to addictions.She also draws on practical, evidence-based techniques aimed at motivation and coping skills. These include short behavior experiments, activity planning, and skill practice between meetings. These methods are meant to create measurable steps that a person can try between sessions to see what helps.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with people to choose which techniques to try and will adjust methods based on progress and preferences. The therapist frames sessions as a partnership focused on realistic goals and small, testable changes.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around other commitments.
