About Lisa
Lisa Warden is a licensed social worker with 16 years of experience. She uses her background in bodywork and talk therapy to help people make change. Lisa brings a practical, warm style and a straightforward way of working.
She often mixes humor with steady encouragement to help people keep going. She believes the body and mind are linked, drawing on that perspective when addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and grief.
Background and approach
Her approach aims to move people out of survival mode and toward more enjoyment and possibility in daily life. Lisa focuses on building simple skills clients can use between sessions. Her work includes support around mood concerns like depression and bipolar, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping struggles, and challenges with self-esteem and anger.
She also helps with caregiving stress, chronic illness, and the strain that comes from major life changes. Lisa pays attention to patterns such as codependency, attachment concerns, and avoidance that keep people stuck. In sessions she meets people where they are and tailors the pace to each person’s needs.
She combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive and behavioral approaches and skills drawn from dialectical strategies. When trauma is central she may integrate eye movement processing techniques alongside talk work. People who respond well to her style tend to want practical tools, honest feedback, and a therapist who can be both direct and compassionate.
She welcomes English-speaking clients in Michigan and also accepts international clients.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting, collaborative relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to develop their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches practical steps to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing everyday stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. People use it to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or ongoing text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chats are helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging lets people share between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel, and allow flexibility in how and when people connect with a licensed professional.
