About Lisa
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Lisa draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses dialectical behavior strategies to teach emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills. Attachment-based ideas guide her work on relationship patterns and wounds from early attachments.
Mindfulness and body-centered practices are part of her approach. Lisa values bringing attention to bodily experience and gentle movement as tools for healing. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change when addictions or ambivalence are present.
Clients meet with a therapist who aims to listen carefully and build on their strengths. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced according to what each person needs at the time. Lisa emphasizes practical skills alongside reflective work so people can cope better between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can be a place to notice these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete strategies to change them, which often fits well into structured online sessions. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to the present moment and bodily sensations to reduce reactivity and support grounding during stress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals, comfort level, and the kinds of problems they want to address. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, with practical adjustments made together.
The biography does not specify which session delivery methods are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing commute time, making scheduling easier, and enabling shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using homework, in-session skill practice, and mindfulness exercises between appointments so progress can continue outside session time.
