About Lisa
Her approach centers on listening first and tailoring care to each person's needs. She uses client-centered methods so the client sets the pace and topics. She also draws on attachment ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Lisa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thoughts that feed unhelpful behaviors. She includes mindfulness tools to build calm and focus during stressful moments. Motivational interviewing is another tool she uses to support committed change when someone feels stuck.
Her practice covers many concerns, including addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, blended family problems, and codependency. She also helps people working through abandonment, commitment issues, and struggles with guilt or shame. Jealousy is one of the relationship worries she addresses within that broader work.
Sessions focus on clear goals and realistic steps people can use between meetings. Lisa aims to help clients strengthen their emotional awareness and make decisions that fit their lives. Reaching out is the first step; she guides the rest of the process in collaboration with each person.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and emotional reactions. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts that lead to unwanted behaviors and testing small behavior changes that build confidence. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship-driven worries.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss options, and try methods that fit your goals and preferences. Together you can adjust techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Discuss the practical arrangements before beginning therapy online. Confirm the current session options, fees, and appointment schedule, and raise any access needs or communication preferences. The aim is to understand the next steps and decide whether the proposed arrangements work for you.
