Background and approach
Lisa brings seven years of clinical experience to her practice in West Virginia. Her background includes work with mood disorders, PTSD, personality-related challenges, and adjustment difficulties. In sessions she focuses on creating an open environment where people can say what they really think and feel.
Conversations are direct and practical, aimed at small, useful changes that build over time. She uses tools from cognitive and behavioral therapies along with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Lisa pays attention to how life roles and stressors affect daily functioning and parenting.
She helps clients notice patterns, try new ways of communicating, and practice coping skills between sessions. Her aim is to support people as they move toward clearer goals and more manageable days. Her approach balances structure and compassion.
Clients can expect grounded techniques, simple homework when helpful, and steady encouragement while they work through change.
Therapies you can use online with Lisa
Lisa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, sleep, or parenting stresses and gives clear exercises to practice between sessions.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and coping skills. DBT teaches skills for handling intense feelings, improving communication, and tolerating distress without making things worse.
Finding the right mix of tools is a collaborative process. Lisa will work with each person to pick approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than applying one fixed method. Clients help set the priorities and test what works in daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, follow up on homework, and stay consistent when life gets hectic. Many clients find that the variety of options helps them keep progress moving forward.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
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.
