About Lisa

Lisa Hernandez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and family-related concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in Florida, offering practical support for everyday problems. Lisa aims to make therapy clear and approachable for someone juggling work and family life.

She focuses on building self-compassion and improving communication skills. In sessions she talks through painful experiences like trauma and abuse, and helps people manage strong emotions such as shame, guilt, and emptiness.

Background and approach

She also supports those dealing with relationship strain, immigration experiences, and mood difficulties. Lisa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide recovery and coping. Her work emphasizes collaborative problem solving, so clients help choose the goals and pace of therapy.

Sessions include space to process feelings and to learn small, practical skills to use between meetings. Her clinical background includes six years of experience working with diverse people from multicultural backgrounds. That experience informs how she adapts the work to cultural and life differences.

Lisa describes therapy as a joint effort focused on increasing resilience and clearer decision making. People often come to her for help with communication problems, disruptions in mood, and the aftermath of domestic violence or sexual assault. She also addresses concerns such as body image, abandonment, impulsivity, jealousy, and struggles around life purpose.

Language options include English and Spanish for those who prefer either language.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Lisa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns. One approach focuses on processing trauma and abusive experiences in manageable steps, helping people reduce intense reactions and make sense of painful memories. Another approach emphasizes skills for mood and anxiety regulation, teaching practical tools for managing overwhelming thoughts and steadying mood swings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that suit their needs, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients take an active role in shaping the work and deciding what feels useful.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy useful because it can fit into a busy week, remove travel time, and make it easier to check in during a lunch break or between errands. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to meet with a licensed professional from different locations within the same state. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you start the matchmaking process to find what fits your life best.
