About Lisa
Lisa Connelly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on common and often painful problems parents face, including stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, sleep and eating concerns, and the pressures of caregiving. Her style is warm, direct, and practical for busy people who want usable tools.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor sessions to each person's needs. That can mean practicing skills to manage overwhelming feelings, exploring patterns that affect relationships, or learning new ways to respond to parenting stress.
Background and approach
Sessions center on clear goals and small, achievable steps between meetings. Lisa's background includes work across a wide range of settings, which shapes a flexible, down-to-earth approach. She aims to build a trusting connection so people feel heard and understood.
Conversations are straightforward and focused on what will help day to day. Clients can expect a mix of talking, skill-building exercises, and practical strategies to try at home. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns when they affect mood and behavior.
The goal is to reduce suffering and increase coping options while fitting therapy into a busy life. Based in Texas, Lisa works with adults on issues that commonly affect parents and caregivers. Her approach combines acceptance-based methods, cognitive tools, and emotion-focused work to address both immediate crises and longer-term change.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while moving toward what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and parenting that feels overwhelming. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and closeness; it helps people understand and change patterns that affect relationships and caregiving.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean blending acceptance strategies with cognitive skills or focusing on emotions and relationships depending on what feels most useful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work face to face when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible and help people maintain momentum between longer sessions.
