About Lisa

LMFT in California with 30 years of experience, Lisa Pepper-Satkin focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, coping with life changes, and coaching. She works with people who want practical steps and accountability as they navigate transitions and rebuild after loss or separation.

Lisa blends psychotherapy and executive therapeutic coaching to help clients set goals and take action. She uses problem-solving and strategic planning alongside therapeutic conversation. Sessions include direct feedback and follow-up steps so progress can be measured between meetings.

Her background includes long experience in clinical practice and leadership development. She has run workshops and retreats that combine psychological insight with creative exercises and coaching tools. That mix informs how she structures one-on-one work and group events.

Clients should expect a focused, goal-oriented approach that also pays attention to emotions. Lisa often helps people untangle communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose. She also supports people through divorce and separation and works on issues many women bring to therapy.

Conversations are practical and action-focused. Lisa asks about obstacles, identifies small experiments to try, and follows up on results. People who want both therapeutic insight and concrete steps often find this combination useful.

Evidence-based approaches and remote sessions

Lisa uses a mix of therapeutic conversation and executive coaching techniques. Psychotherapy conversations focus on identifying thoughts and feelings that keep problems in place and then testing small changes in everyday life. Coaching work zeroes in on clear goals, accountability, and stepwise action plans to move forward.

She also draws on leadership and group work practices learned through workshops and retreats to help clients practice communication and decision-making skills. These approaches are useful for stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions where concrete problem solving and behavioral experiments help create change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review needs, goals, and preferences and then decide whether to emphasize therapeutic exploration, coaching action steps, or a blend. That collaborative process is revisited as goals evolve.
