About Lisa

Lisa Hess offers steady, practical support for people facing stress and parenting challenges. She meets clients with warmth and straightforward care. Lisa speaks plainly about worries and goals so families can make small, useful changes.

Her approach aims to build confidence and clearer day-to-day plans. Lisa brings 15 years of experience as a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. She focuses on common struggles like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also helps with eating and sleeping issues, intimacy-related concerns, career questions, and managing life transitions. In sessions she emphasizes honest conversation and compassionate listening. She helps people put words to fears and doubts, then turns those insights into practical steps.

She draws on several methods to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed style. Her work often blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and narrative ideas. That means Lisa listens closely, then helps identify thoughts and patterns that get in the way.

She also invites people to reframe their stories so they feel more in control of daily choices. Lisa aims to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where clients can try new approaches. She encourages patience and self-compassion as skills to practice.

Over time, many find that small shifts in thinking and routine change how their days feel.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people feel understood. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk about parenting stress, grief, or low self-esteem and wants clear, respectful support.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. In practical online sessions this often means identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to ease anxiety, sleep problems, or mood struggles.

Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and then rewrite those stories in more helpful ways. This can be useful for changing long-standing beliefs that make parenting or relationships harder.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation. Together you will decide which strategies to try and adjust them over time based on what helps.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to follow up between meetings. For many people, that variety makes consistent progress more manageable and practical.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
