About Lissa

Lissa Elliott St.Clair is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people regain balance when life feels overwhelming. She offers a calm, nonjudgmental presence and listens for what matters most to each person. Many come for help with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, or the stress of big life changes. Lissa also works with concerns such as compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, anger, and mood disorders.

She draws on client-centered methods that put the person’s goals first. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills. Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused strategies support short-term goals and everyday problem solving.

Sessions aim to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and try small, manageable changes. Lissa emphasizes clear communication and teaches skills for handling jealousy, relationship tensions, codependency, and communication problems. She also helps people navigate parenting stress, career shifts, and midlife transitions.

With nine years of experience, Lissa blends emotional support with concrete tools. She encourages clients to take small steps that lead to more control and hope. Lissa practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English.

To start, prospective clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule appointments according to therapist availability. Lissa uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary by location and scheduling.

How Lissa’s Approaches Work Online

Lissa uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following each person’s lead so goals come from what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood swings, and change unhelpful reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, work style, and what feels most useful. Together they try small changes, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and relevant.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. The platform uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, use quieter surroundings, or shorten check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist during intake to learn which formats and schedules will best fit your routines and needs.
