Focus areas and approaches

Everything Lisa lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Online approaches that meet you where you are

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping and regulation strategies to reduce stress and manage anxiety; clients practice short exercises and tools they can use during stressful moments. Another approach focuses on processing trauma and grief at a pace that feels safe, helping people name emotions and make meaning of difficult experiences.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, symptoms, and preferences. That may mean starting with brief coping skills and later shifting to deeper processing, or combining strategies as needs change.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit varied schedules. Video allows face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions work well when a camera isn’t convenient, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging helps keep momentum between appointments. These options make it easier to access consistent support from California or abroad and to fit sessions into a busy life.
