Approaches you can use in online sessions

Lisa uses client-centered methods to make sessions focused on each person’s needs and values. This approach means the session centers on what feels most important to the client and proceeds at their pace. It works well for people who need a supportive space to sort feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and routines and replace them with small, practical changes. CBT can help with anxiety, mood problems, sleep and eating patterns, and low energy by breaking concerns into manageable steps.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people move toward change when they feel stuck or unsure. That method uses questions and reflections to clarify goals and boost commitment without pressure.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. Lisa will talk about what seems most useful based on a person’s concerns, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods and adjust the plan as needed so treatment matches real life.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video gives a face-to-face feel, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing, brief exchanges between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family responsibilities.
