01About Lisa
Lisa Mbriwa is a licensed professional counselor who has worked in community mental health for 15 years. She aims to make people feel heard, valued, and understood. Her manner is warm and straightforward, and she centers the person over labels or assumptions.
She helps with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and depression. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver strain, codependency, and communication or commitment issues.
Background and approach
Her background includes working with children and families involved in foster care and the child welfare system. Mbriwa describes her style as person-centered and process-oriented. She listens first, then adapts how she works to fit each person's needs.
Her approach pulls from cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and psychodynamic ideas to address feelings, thoughts, and relationship patterns. She also brings experience counseling from a Christian perspective for those who want that frame of reference, including help with church-related hurt. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and learning healthier boundaries over time.
People can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental space to talk at their own pace. The therapist emphasizes authenticity and walking alongside clients as they work toward healing and clearer relationships.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Lisa blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Humanistic work centers on listening and validating a person's experience to build self-understanding and motivation. Psychodynamic ideas look at relationship patterns and past influences to help people make different choices in current relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods over time based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to use and can revisit that plan as needed.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, fewer travel demands, and more flexibility around work or caregiving commitments. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available formats before booking to know what is offered. Licensed professionals can often use online sessions to continue consistent care while tailoring session length and timing to everyday routines.
