Background and approach
She also addresses trauma, grief, and attachment-related concerns with care and attention to each person’s history. Lisa uses an individualized blend of methods drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy, Jungian ideas, mindfulness practice, narrative work, and solution-focused techniques. That mix lets her shift between changing unhelpful thoughts, exploring personal stories, and finding immediate, usable steps toward relief.
People who contact her can expect a calm, direct style paired with practical tools. She supports parents who need help managing stress, setting boundaries, or rebuilding balance after major life changes. Her aim is to help clients reclaim purpose and renewed self-worth.

Approaches that guide online work
Lisa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits. It helps people change unhelpful thinking and develop concrete behavior plans.She also draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice and manage stress reactions in the moment. Mindfulness practices train attention and can ease ongoing worry, sleep problems, and emotional reactivity.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa discusses goals and preferences with each person and blends methods to suit the situation. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills, story work, or deeper exploration over time.
Online sessions can fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to schedule during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in more frequently or send quick updates between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while juggling family, work, and other demands.
