How Lisa’s approaches work in online sessions

Lisa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practical homework. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, mood shifts, and many everyday problems.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and able to set their own goals. This approach supports people working through identity concerns, life changes, and relationship stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger, intense mood swings, and coping under pressure.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods together. That means sessions can combine skill-building, practical tasks, and deeper processing as needed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging can fit into busy schedules and allow ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and daily life.
