About Lisa

Lisa Longo is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida and a licensed professional counselor in Oregon. She brings six years of formal counseling experience and a long background working in mental health and human services. She offers a practical, interactive style focused on real concerns people bring to therapy. Lisa aims to create a space where clients feel seen and heard as they talk about what matters most to them.

Her approach emphasizes solution-focused work alongside attention to recurring problems rooted in the past. Sessions include concrete feedback, skill-building, and guided reflection to help manage stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and other everyday struggles. Lisa also helps people facing trauma, depression, addictions, sleep concerns, parenting strain, career crossroads, and self-esteem challenges.

She has additional experience addressing abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, body image, and coping with life transitions such as aging or illness. Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and tailors interventions to the person’s needs. Her counseling style is active and practical, aiming for useful changes between sessions.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation, focused goal work, and tools to practice outside sessions. Lisa encourages people to set clear goals and to track progress in manageable steps. She welcomes being part of a client’s healing process while keeping work grounded and applicable to daily life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common element is solution-focused work, which centers on identifying clear goals and small, doable steps to reach them. This helps with issues like stress, anxiety, and day-to-day relationship concerns by keeping sessions directed and outcome-oriented.

Another approach reflects work on attachment and abandonment themes, which looks at patterns in how people relate and offers ways to shift unhelpful responses. That kind of work can be useful for intimacy-related problems, self-esteem issues, and managing reactions after loss or separation. Both approaches emphasize skills people can practice between sessions to build momentum.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt strategies as work unfolds. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay useful and focused on real-life change.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow for flexible scheduling around work or parenting. It can also allow shorter check-ins when problems need quick attention, and let people choose whether they prefer to be on camera or not during a session.
