About Lisa

Lisa Bicket is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of practice in Illinois. She focuses on steady, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Sessions emphasize clear goals and straightforward steps rather than medical labels.

Her style is client-centered and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people map out what matters most to them. Many clients work on communication, self-esteem, and managing day-to-day stress.

Background and approach

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, is one tool she uses to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are offered to calm the body and steady attention during hard moments. Solution-focused strategies help set short-term goals and build momentum toward change.

Lisa also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, intimacy challenges, and relationship or family problems. She works with concerns like chronic illness, caregiver stress, codependency, and ADHD by breaking problems into manageable steps. Her approach is practical and collaborative.

Sessions aim to build resilience, improve communication, and create routines that make life easier. People who prefer clear structure alongside empathic listening often find this approach helpful.

Online support

How practical approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to each person. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes your goals and tailors the conversation to your needs, whether you want space to process or direct feedback and coaching.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. Online CBT sessions typically include short exercises, thought records, and homework that can be reviewed together during video or phone meetings.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus. These techniques can be practiced live in a session or recorded for daily use between meetings.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with clients to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels doable.

Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging let people communicate in writing between sessions or when speaking feels hard. Together, these options make it easier to fit therapy into real life.
