About Lisa

Lisa Guerra is a licensed professional counselor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the ups and downs of life. She emphasizes practical steps that lead to small, steady changes. Her approach centers on clear goals and simple strategies that can be used between sessions.

Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and improve communication.

Background and approach

These methods guide focused conversations rather than long lectures. Her background includes seven years of counseling experience and prior work as a paramedic for 20 years. That combination shaped her ability to spot signs of high stress and first responder issues.

She brings a calm, matter-of-fact style to meetings and values practical problem solving. Sessions usually focus on the problem at hand and on realistic strategies people can try right away. Lisa pays attention to how daily habits, work demands, and past events affect current feelings.

She helps people test new ways of behaving and then adjusts plans based on what actually works. People can expect a collaborative process that balances talking and action. She supports work on grief, trauma, self-esteem, career concerns, ADHD, parenting challenges, blended family and adoption matters, and other family-related stressors.

Lisa practices in Texas and holds the LPC credential.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Lisa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in her work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice different behaviors to change how they feel. The Gottman Method focuses on communication and interaction patterns in relationships, teaching concrete skills to reduce conflict and rebuild trust.

Choosing the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms, and preferences to decide which approach or combination fits best. Over time the plan is reviewed and adjusted based on what is helping the client make progress.

Online therapy with Lisa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets hectic. Online formats allow work on communication skills, thought monitoring, coping strategies, and practical homework while meeting from wherever the client is located in Texas.

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.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.

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.
