About Lisa

Lisa Fox is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 33 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside many other life stresses people bring to therapy. She aims to create a relaxed, down-to-earth space where people do not feel judged or examined.

Her style is practical and encouraging, aimed at helping people take small steps toward less stress and more control. Her approach begins with person-centered listening to understand what matters most to the client.

Background and approach

She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Mindfulness and existential ideas often appear in sessions to help people find meaning and stay present during hard moments. Fox has a Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of South Florida.

She holds an Ohio Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor credential - LPCC - and the license number is OH LPCC E.1700301-SUPV. Her training includes work with trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and survivors of abuse. In practice she combines active and reflective listening, reframing, motivational strategies, and occasional between-session work to build skills and confidence.

She avoids a one-size-fits-all structure and shapes work to each person’s history and values. She respects religious beliefs and will align with them where appropriate, though she does not provide religious counseling. Sessions move at a pace set by the client, with a focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.

The goal is to help people feel more capable when facing common problems such as grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, or life transitions.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist reflects your concerns back so you feel heard and can clarify what you want to change. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through parenting stress or family tensions.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It breaks big problems into smaller steps and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or change unhelpful reactions. CBT is often used for stress, anxiety, depression, and issues that involve patterns of thinking.

Finding the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client’s needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what is helping and what feels comfortable.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting duties, work, and daily life. Different formats allow for real-time talks or written check-ins, so clients can choose what works best for them.

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.

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.
