01About Lisa
Lisa Fix is a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois with 33 years of experience. She chose this work because of her upbringing and personal journey through therapy, so she understands what it feels like to be on the other side of the room. She meets people with calm, straightforward care and aims to make the first step easier.
Lisa’s background includes work in community mental health, a hospital-based eating disorders program, and a university counseling center.
Background and approach
Those roles gave her a range of clinical experience and practical skills that she brings into sessions. She draws on several approaches and adapts them to each person's needs. Her style is personal and relaxed.
She listens first, offers direct feedback when helpful, and moves at a pace a person can handle. People often look for a therapist who is caring and non-judgmental; Lisa emphasizes making clients feel heard and respected. Lisa helps with everyday and complex concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, depression, eating and food-related issues, addictions, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, and self-esteem.
She also supports work on relationship problems, intimacy-related issues, and coping with big life changes. She uses practical tools from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Sessions usually include clear goals, skill building, and collaborative planning so people can practice changes between meetings.
Outside of counseling, Lisa enjoys exercise, gardening, coffee, chocolate, companion animals, funny videos, and following social justice topics. She encourages prospective clients to ask questions and to see counseling as a collaborative match.

Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people find their own solutions to problems like relationship strain, grief, or self-esteem concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, obsessions, panic, or mood problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It can help people who struggle with anger, impulsive behaviors, or trouble tolerating stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest tools to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, updates, or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible for busy schedules and different comfort levels.
