Lisa Gercie, LPC

Lisa Gercie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 26 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, or who are facing major life changes. Lisa also offers coaching around motivation, relationships, and finding life purpose.

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. Sessions focus on real problems and practical steps people can try between meetings. Lisa pays attention to the whole person and often brings in conversations about health, movement, and daily routines when relevant.

Her approach is collaborative. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's goals and strengths. People can expect clear goals, feedback, and techniques they can use right away to manage anxiety, improve communication, or build confidence.

Lisa works with adults who identify as empathic or sensitive and who want tools to cope better and feel more grounded. She draws on solution-focused strategies to set achievable next steps and on hypnotherapy or mindfulness when those fit a client’s preferences.

Her style is respectful and direct. She aims to create a calm space for honest talk and steady progress. If someone is ready to try a focused, practical approach that also honors their values, Lisa offers flexible online formats to begin that work.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, often useful for anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers on listening, empathy, and meeting a person where they are to build trust and motivation.

She may bring in mindfulness exercises or brief solution-focused techniques to set clear next steps between sessions. Finding the right mix is a collaborative process - the therapist and client decide together which approaches match the client's needs, goals, and personal preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face-to-face when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good choice when a lighter connection is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, and ongoing skill practice between longer meetings. These options help fit work schedules, caregiving, or travel while keeping consistent therapeutic progress.
