About Lisa
Lisa Haughey is a licensed professional counselor with a practical, down-to-earth style. She draws on decades of experience to help people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship challenges. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, and she aims to teach tools people can use outside of sessions.
Her work includes support for parenting concerns, relationship problems, grief, and coping with big life changes. She also addresses intimacy-related matters, bipolar and ADHD, and issues tied to identity within the LGBT community.
Background and approach
She has worked in both mental health and substance dependency settings over many years. Lisa keeps sessions collaborative and interactive. She emphasizes honesty and direct feedback when needed, while staying compassionate and nonjudgmental.
She avoids stigmatizing labels and respects each person's spiritual path and beliefs. Over a long career she has helped people with career decisions, communication problems, blended family strains, and challenges after involvement with the criminal justice system. That background informs a practical focus on reentry and rebuilding life after incarceration.
Clients can expect clear goal-setting, tools from evidence-based methods, and a counselor who values sensitivity and straightforward guidance. Lisa’s work aims to give people usable skills and the mindset to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people live in line with their values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors connect and offers specific techniques to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. These approaches emphasize practical steps and skills people can use between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Lisa works collaboratively to figure out which approach or combination best matches a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. She offers straightforward guidance and adjusts methods as progress and feedback indicate what helps most.
Online therapy brings these approaches into formats that fit busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer a simpler option, and live chat or text messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing communication. These formats make it easier to keep momentum, practice skills between sessions, and maintain a consistent path forward.
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.
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.
