About Lisa
Dr. Lisa Daniel uses practical, evidence-informed therapy to help people manage stress and life changes. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, with two decades of clinical experience in Texas.
She focuses on clear, straightforward conversations and helps clients set realistic, step-by-step goals. Many people find her steady and respectful manner helpful when facing big problems. She works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and relationships.
Background and approach
Parenting and family concerns are part of her practice focus. She also addresses addictions, sleep and eating struggles, ADHD, and career stress. Her approach adapts to each person rather than using one fixed method.
Her training includes cognitive behavioral techniques and approaches that help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients build values-based routines. Attachment-based and client-centered methods inform how she supports connections and strengthens self-understanding.
Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, practicing new ways to respond, and planning small, doable steps between meetings. She aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space and to work at a pace that feels manageable. Progress is measured by changes that matter in daily life.
Dr. Daniel keeps therapy straightforward and practical. She helps people find the next right step, whether for coping with loss, improving mood, or handling relationship strain.
Therapy approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts without getting swept away by them and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry. This approach is often used when someone wants concrete tools and immediate practice.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, needs, and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. That process is collaborative, with adjustments made over time based on what is helping.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options let people keep therapy going when life is busy, when travel is difficult, or when quick check-ins are needed between longer sessions. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, problem solving, and goal setting through these formats, making therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
