Lisa Wyatt, LMFT

Lisa Wyatt is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 19 years of experience. She helps people who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed find clearer ways to handle stress at home, at work, and in relationships. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping clients feel more confident managing hard situations.

Lisa listens first and lets each person set the pace for therapy. She uses a client-centered approach that focuses on what a person already does well, then builds on those strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to look at how thoughts and behaviors interact, and Attachment-Based perspectives to understand relationship patterns.

Sessions typically involve talking through immediate problems, learning small skills to reduce anxiety, and identifying patterns that keep issues repeating. Lisa adapts techniques to each person's life so interventions are realistic and usable between sessions. She pays particular attention to concerns like trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, parenting strain, and relationship conflict.

People who come for help often want clear steps they can try right away. Lisa blends short-term tools with deeper work on attachment and family history when needed. She has experience supporting people facing compassion fatigue and career-related stress as well.

Therapy is conducted in English and offered through online formats that fit varied schedules. To begin, a prospective client completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on therapist availability.

Approaches and online options that fit your life

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns between thoughts and behaviors and try small experiments that reduce anxiety or change unwanted reactions. CBT is useful for worry, low mood, and behavior patterns that feel stuck.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape expectations and reactions in close relationships. That approach can help when people struggle with trust, commitment issues, or feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lisa takes a collaborative stance, listening to your goals and trying methods that fit your values and day-to-day life. She may combine tools from CBT, attachment work, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on what helps you make progress.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a conversation that feels similar to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be helpful if bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits your schedule. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other routines.
