About Lisa
Lisa Scott is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 32 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on practical steps parents and adults can take when life feels overwhelming. Sessions are conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at making change feel possible and manageable.
Lisa uses clear, straightforward methods to address addiction, relationship strain, grief, and intimacy-related issues. She helps people who face family transitions, caregiver stress, or the ongoing challenges of ADHD.
Background and approach
Parents seeking support around parenting concerns will find a calm, steady presence and concrete tools to try between sessions. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy with client-centered listening. That means she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try new behaviors, and repair important connections.
She also draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning during big life changes. Clients can expect sessions that focus on real problems and daily routines. Lisa aims to break issues into small, manageable steps.
She pays attention to communication problems, blended family dynamics, and the effects of prejudice or discrimination. Based in Michigan, Lisa offers work that respects each person’s background and experience. Her long career includes helping people cope with aging and geriatric issues, abandonment and attachment concerns, and obsessive or impulsive behaviors.
The goal is steady progress and increased confidence in handling life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress by clarifying priorities and building small, consistent habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. CBT is practical for mood concerns, anger, and managing impulses through concrete exercises and homework.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, daily routine, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she’ll suggest approaches to try and adjust them based on what works best for your situation in ongoing collaboration.
Online therapy makes sessions easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when face time helps, while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, quick skill reminders, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options support flexibility, consistency, and practical follow-through with tools learned in therapy.
