About Lisa

Lisa Williams is a licensed professional counselor with 12 years of clinical experience. She offers a straightforward, respectful approach to care and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her work centers on reducing stress and anxiety, managing addiction, and coping with grief and loss.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions collaborative and DBT skills when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. These methods are adapted to each person's goals and pace.

Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-focused. Lisa listens carefully, helps clarify priorities, and suggests small experiments to try between visits. She pays attention to relationship concerns, self-esteem, career stresses, and the impact of major life changes.

People who face compassion fatigue, caregiving strain, or the challenges of serious illness will find a practical focus on coping skills and problem solving. Lisa also addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, impulsivity, and substance use in a steady, nonjudgmental way.

Her license is LPC, and she practices in Texas. She works with people who want clear steps, emotional support, and a plan they can use in daily life. The first meeting is an opportunity to set goals and choose an approach that fits the person and their situation.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is practical and focused on clear skills people can practice between sessions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to set meaningful goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are priorities; these skills are concrete and action-oriented.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide flexible, shorter exchanges for quick support or between-session contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules while using approaches that focus on real-life coping and skill building.
