Lisa Maulding Anthony, LMHC

Lisa Maulding Anthony is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Her approach is straightforward and caring, aimed at helping people get through hard moments and find clearer ways forward. She combines practical strategies and listening to help people make small, useful changes. Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift daily habits. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-focused ideas to help clients clarify values and improve close relationships. Many clients come with complicated histories or overlapping issues like substance use, codependency, body image concerns, or problems with control and communication. Lisa breaks these concerns into manageable steps and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions. She also offers hypnotherapy when that method fits a person's goals. Sessions are collaborative. Lisa emphasizes respect and curiosity while helping clients build coping tools and notice progress. She encourages setting clear, realistic goals and celebrates small wins along the way. Working with Lisa is aimed at steady, practical change rather than quick fixes. She supports people as they learn new ways of thinking and acting, so difficult feelings feel less overwhelming over time.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice their values and take small steps toward them. It focuses on actions that matter most, which can reduce the power of anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often uses short exercises and homework that work well between remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and boundaries, helping people improve how they relate to others. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps, so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around. Online formats offer practical advantages. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers to be off camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are convenient for quick check-ins, shorter problem-solving, or continuing work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
