She sees people who are dealing with self-esteem issues, communication breakdowns, social anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and improve coping. She helps clients with concrete strategies for anxiety, clearer ways to communicate within families, and stepwise plans for handling stressful situations.

Evidence-based approaches and virtual sessions
Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and build skills. Cognitive approaches focus on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns that fuel anxiety and low mood and then practicing alternative ways of thinking. Skills-based methods teach practical tools for managing stress, improving communication, and handling overwhelming moments, which can help with parenting challenges and caregiver strain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adapt techniques based on current needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps match strategies to daily routines and relationship priorities.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a day’s demands. They also make it possible to keep therapy connected to home and work life without requiring additional time for commuting. Licensed professionals can help decide how to structure sessions so they fit practical constraints and the person’s goals.
