About Lisa

Lisa Gray is a licensed professional counselor with 18 years of experience. She practices from Michigan and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and many life changes. Lisa focuses on helping people regain a sense of meaning, rebuild self-respect, and find practical ways forward.

Her sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens for what matters most and helps clients set small, doable steps. Lisa uses a mix of tools so people can practice new skills between meetings and see steady progress.

Background and approach

Clients often bring worries about relationships, parenting challenges, work stress, sleep problems, addictions, or mood concerns such as depression and bipolar-related struggles. She also addresses issues tied to loss, attachment, abandonment, and caregiving strain. Lisa pays attention to how life events affect daily function and family dynamics.

Her background includes training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian ideas, mindfulness, narrative work, and solution-focused methods. That variety lets her tailor sessions to each person’s needs rather than rely on one fixed method. In sessions she aims to create space for honest conversation and real change.

She helps clients name patterns, try different behaviors, and track what improves. Many people come for relief from intense emotions and leave with clearer choices and renewed hope.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Lisa blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and respond to stress more calmly. CBT focuses on identifying and testing thoughts that lead to distress and learning practical skills to shift behavior. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve sleep and mood.

She also draws on Narrative Therapy when it helps to reframe a person’s story and separate identity from problems. That work can be useful for people coping with grief, abandonment, or changing family roles. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative - she discusses options, listens to goals, and adjusts methods as progress is made.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy families and those living far from Michigan. These formats let clients keep momentum between sessions and fit meetings around work, caregiving, and school. She will work with each person to pick the format that matches their needs and preferences while focusing on clear steps and measurable progress.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Narrative Therapy

Looking at the story you have come to tell about yourself, and where it came from. The work is in separating the problem from your identity and finding accounts that fit you better.
