About Lisa

Lisa Lee-Briggs is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 13 years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, intimacy issues, and a range of emotional and behavioral struggles. Lisa aims to make the first step feel manageable and supportive for people who are nervous about reaching out.

She keeps conversations direct and practical while remaining compassionate and respectful. Lisa helps people identify their own answers and then works beside them to try new ways of communicating and coping.

Background and approach

She adapts the process to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. A common focus is improving family and couple communication by shifting away from blame and toward clearer understanding. That work includes practical tools for conversation and behavior change, tailored to the specific family dynamics in the room.

Lisa also addresses matters like grief, addiction, mood concerns, and life transitions. Clinically she draws from cognitive-behavioral methods and Gestalt techniques, mixing in other approaches that suit the situation. She matches methods to each client and situation rather than insisting on a single modality.

Sessions are offered in English and French to accommodate language preferences. Lisa describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps set goals, tries different strategies, and adjusts the plan as needed.

Her practice aims to help people build clearer communication, more effective coping, and greater stability in family life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Family Support

Lisa uses cognitive-behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses; this approach is useful for mood issues, anxiety, and patterns that affect relationships. She also draws on Gestalt techniques that focus on present-moment awareness and how people communicate in sessions, which can help clarify misunderstandings and improve emotional expression.

Choosing the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk with you about goals, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust based on how things are going. This collaborative process aims to find methods that feel practical and relevant for your family or relationship situation.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. These options let people access therapy from home, fit sessions around busy days, and keep communication going between meetings when needed. The variety of formats supports different comfort levels and lifestyles while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
