About Lisa
Lisa Hammes is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns. Her style is warm and interactive, with a bit of humor to ease tense moments.
She aims to meet people where they are in their lives. Lisa views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague talk.
Background and approach
Her work draws from several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, Jungian perspectives, and solution-focused strategies. She blends these methods to fit the situation instead of using one fixed method. Parents often come for help with behavior, boundaries, stress, and managing day-to-day overwhelm.
Lisa also supports people dealing with grief, relationship problems, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. She pays attention to how past hurts and trauma shape current reactions. Over 11 years of practice, she has developed a down-to-earth way of guiding change.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills you can try between meetings. The goal is to make progress that feels doable and relevant to everyday life.

Approaches that guide online parenting support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person's experience. It helps people feel understood and builds on their strengths to make practical changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches clear skills for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals and daily life. That decision can shift over time as needs change, and the process is meant to be collaborative and flexible.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing skill practice, or times when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting routine and to try different ways of connecting until the best fit is found.
