Lisa Winn, LPC

Lisa Winn is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 22 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, or struggles with attention and self-esteem. Lisa aims to create a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them and take small steps toward change.

Her approach is practical and conversational. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to focus on connection and understanding in the therapy relationship.

Sessions tend to focus on what is most pressing for the person in front of her. Lisa helps people set achievable goals, try new ways of handling problems, and track what works. She pays attention to relationship concerns, commitment and communication issues, body image, and challenges that come with caregiving or chronic health conditions.

Clients have many reasons to seek support, including abandonment, adoption and foster-care histories, aging and geriatric issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and personality-related concerns such as avoidant or antisocial traits. Lisa also addresses codependency, control issues, and difficulties tied to blended family dynamics.

She provides care from Missouri and communicates in English. International clients are accepted. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedule sessions once matched.

How Lisa’s approaches translate to online work

Lisa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to teach people how to notice difficult thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. That approach helps with anxiety, low mood, and motivation by shifting attention toward meaningful goals rather than getting stuck on unhelpful thoughts.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify patterns of thinking that maintain stress or depression and to test small behavior changes. CBT offers clear exercises that can be practiced between meetings and reviewed during sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and preferences. Together they set goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as progress or obstacles become clear.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to keep regular appointments. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote work while helping people apply skills in their daily life.
