About Lisa

Lisa Golightly is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with a decade of counseling experience. She focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, stress, depression, and self-esteem. She also addresses relationship and parenting concerns, along with issues such as anger, career changes, and ADHD.

Her tone is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at making parents and individuals feel understood right away. Her sessions prioritize listening first. She helps people talk through what’s happening and figure out practical next steps.

Background and approach

She combines cognitive-behavioral ideas, solution-focused work, and a client-centered attitude to tailor the process to each person. That means tools to change unhelpful thinking, short-term strategies to see progress, and a focus on each person’s goals. In the room she keeps language simple and concrete.

Conversations often move between exploring feelings and trying small, doable changes. She pays attention to values like self-love and helps people rebuild confidence and balance during life transitions. Lisa aims to make therapy feel approachable for worried parents and busy adults.

She explains options clearly and works with each person’s pace. The result is a practical, steady path forward rather than quick fixes. Her background and methods reflect ten years of hands-on counseling practice.

She draws on familiar, evidence-informed techniques and adapts them to everyday family and parenting concerns. The focus stays on what the person needs now and on realistic steps they can take next.

How Lisa’s Approaches Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are. The therapist offers empathy and support while clients lead the pace and direction, which is useful for building trust and exploring parenting or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses concrete exercises and practice to change unhelpful thinking patterns, helping with anxiety, stress, and mood changes.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable steps. Sessions identify specific goals and try quick strategies to create forward motion, which can be helpful during life transitions or when juggling family demands.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they try techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions provide a simpler option, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and follow-up between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and keep momentum between appointments.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
