Dr. Lisa Page, LCPC

Dr. Lisa Page is a licensed clinical professional counselor with 15 years of experience in health psychology. She blends practical problem-solving with direct, empathetic guidance to help people make steady progress. Dr. Page focuses on clear goals and plain talk so clients know what to expect from sessions.

She primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, pairing it with motivational techniques to address anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addiction recovery. She also draws on mindset and lifestyle approaches when clients want to tackle habits tied to diet, activity, or sleep. Her style is goal-oriented and straightforward while still attentive to each person's experience.

Dr. Page earned a doctorate from the Colorado School of Professional Psychology, now the University of the Rockies in Colorado Springs. She taught as an adjunct professor for a decade at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology and co-authored an audiobook on burnout. Her professional credential is IL LCPC, which denotes a licensed clinical professional counselor in Illinois.

She helps people move past resistance to change using Motivational Interviewing and concise action planning. That often means breaking larger goals into small, doable steps and checking progress each week. Her aim is to make therapy practical, measurable, and tailored to each person.

Outside of clinical work she supports local social justice efforts and pursues further specialty training in lifestyle and sleep-related approaches. Dr. Page offers sessions in English and sees clients in Illinois.

How CBT and Motivational Techniques Work Online

Dr. Page often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills you can use between sessions, which works well over video or text. She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people overcome resistance and find internal reasons to change, a helpful approach when someone is weighing steps like recovery or lifestyle shifts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dr. Page will discuss goals, preferences, and practical limits and then try approaches that fit each person's needs. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods based on what helps most in real life.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets you work face to face and practice skills in conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Chat or messaging works for short check-ins, quick coping tools, and steady accountability without scheduling a long call.
