How Lisa’s approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the client's lead. It helps when someone needs to explore feelings, work through grief, or build confidence at their own pace.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lisa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made along the way so treatment matches changing needs.
Online sessions offer flexibility across several formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
