About Lisa

Lisa Adair is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. Lisa emphasizes practical support and clear steps people can use right away.

She works from the belief that each person knows their own story and brings strengths into therapy. Sessions aim to build on those strengths while addressing what is getting in the way.

Background and approach

Lisa encourages honest conversation and steady, doable changes rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential ideas to help people rethink unhelpful thoughts and find meaning in difficult moments. That combination is used to tackle problems like panic, low self-esteem, sleep troubles, and compassion fatigue.

She also addresses issues linked to trauma, grief, intimacy, and relationship strains. Lisa has additional experience with adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image concerns, and domestic violence related issues. Other areas she supports include ADHD, social anxiety, mood disorders, and women's issues.

She explains options plainly and helps people choose what will work for them. In sessions she aims to be supportive and empowering while offering concrete tools. People can expect collaborative planning, practical coping strategies, and time to reflect on values and goals.

The focus is on steady progress toward a more manageable, meaningful life.

Combining practical techniques with meaning through online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It gives concrete tools for managing anxiety, panic, mood shifts, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Existential therapy centers on questions of meaning, choice, and personal values. It helps people facing life transitions, grief, or a sense of emptiness by clarifying what matters and how to act on it.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist listens to concerns, goals, and daily realities, then suggests approaches to try together. Techniques are adjusted along the way based on what feels helpful and what meets a personneeds.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Sessions by video or phone allow longer conversations, while live chat and text messaging can provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules and to keep consistent progress over time.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
