About Lisa
Lisa Wing is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maine. She has nine years as a licensed clinician and over two decades of overall experience in the mental health field. Lisa draws on practical, straightforward methods and a warm, down-to-earth manner to help people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns.
She uses a mix of approaches that suits each person's situation. Lisa leans on cognitive behavioral techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Background and approach
She also uses EMDR for trauma-related symptoms and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are combined with motivational interviewing to support movement toward goals. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused.
Lisa works with people to build a realistic plan and adjusts it as needs evolve. Her style is direct but compassionate, and she often brings gentle humor into sessions to make hard conversations easier. Lived experience across varied roles informs her perspective.
She has worked with veterans and people in the LGBTQ community in prior roles and brings that background into her therapeutic stance. Lisa pays attention to practical steps clients can use between sessions to manage day-to-day challenges. People who want a clear roadmap and hands-on skills often find her approach helpful.
Lisa supports questions about life purpose, relationship difficulties, grief, ADHD, bipolar concerns, social anxiety, and other stressors. She speaks English and conducts sessions remotely using several formats.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is right now. The therapist reflects what the client says and helps them set personal goals, which is helpful for parenting stress and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with everyday parenting challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds specific skills for regulating intense emotions and handling conflict calmly, which can aid people who struggle with anger or relationship tension.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan together so it fits the client’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation easier around work, school, or caregiving. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, reminders, and ongoing skill coaching between full sessions.
