Background and approach

She combines practical therapeutic tools with coaching and education so clients can use what they learn between sessions. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that match each person’s life and goals. Lisa adapts her approach as needs change over time.

Lisa often works from a trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy stance and blends other methods when helpful. She uses evidence-based strategies alongside approaches that address parts work and motivation. That mix helps with symptoms and with patterns that keep problems returning.

Lisa is based in Pennsylvania and brings a personal perspective to her work as a late-diagnosis ADHDer and a parent. She balances clinical work with family life and a small farm, so she understands the pressures of busy schedules. Her goal is to help people feel more capable, connected, and in control of the next steps.

Approaches Lisa names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Practical approaches for online healing and growth

Lisa draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to help people manage symptoms and process difficult experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing helps people safely revisit and reprocess traumatic memories so they cause less distress in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lisa will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and will suggest strategies that fit their needs. She treats clients and therapists as partners in deciding what methods to try and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, quick coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and allow ongoing support between in-person commitments.
