More about Lisa
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I believe therapy can be a powerful tool to help individuals identify harmful patterns in their lives and learn new and healthy ways of creating and maintaining a more fulfilling life for themselves. Using a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach, I aim to assist my clients to develop greater insight, cultivate positive self-regard, and empower them to find balance within themselves and their lives.
I have worked in a variety of settings throughout my career; providing in home family therapy, mentoring youth, working in residential programs as well as administering emergency psychiatric assessments in various hospital settings.
As a trauma-informed clinician, I examine how life experiences and environments have shaped who we have become and support my clients in finding more effective ways of coping and communicating. I utilize a solution-focused approach to therapy, often incorporating CBT and DBT strategies into my treatment.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
